This story about Helen Keller, her teacher Anne Sullivan Macy, and an unnamed maid whose alleged act of kindness changed Sullivan's and Keller's lives has been a topic of conversation for decades. Here's what's true — and what's false — about the tale...
in Ohio, while she was a nursing student. It should be noted that this is not a contemporaneous story, but a third-hand retelling of a story the author reportedly heard"about 100 years ago" from a doctor who supposedly heard it from an unnamed maid.
Rumors circulated throughout the state about cruelty to inmates at the institution, sexually perverted practices, and even cannibalism.Anne Sullivan Macy: The Story Behind Helen Keller They slept together, unhaunted by the shades of the old women who had spent their last moments above the sod lying, just as they were lying, with their faces to the ceiling. But perhaps the ghosts were not there. With the wide world to choose from it is not likely that any of them had lingered in this sad, drab, dreary little cell.
Braddy notes that Maggie Hogan, a"quiet little woman with a crooked back" who oversaw the ward, introduced Sullivan to the small administrative library, and worked to get other residents to read books to her. Braddy writes: Sullivan's thoughts about Tewksbury were recorded in Braddy's book, as well as in a manuscript she wrote entitled"." While Sullivan acknowledged that there had been some"unexpected good" during the"chinks of frustration in my life," we didn't find any record of Sullivan claiming that her life had been changed by a random act of kindness. Rather, she wrote in her manuscript that she was still haunted by her time at Tewksbury.
