Today is White Cane Safety Day!
Celebrating the independence, confidence, and safety that the white cane represents for people who are blind or visually impaired.
The first White Cane Safety Day was proclaimed in 1964, when President Lyndon B. Johnson signed a resolution recognizing the white cane as a symbol of independence and mobility. Since then, October 15 has been a day to honor the achievements of the blind and visually impaired community and to remind everyone of the importance of awareness and accessibility in everyday life.
