AMERICAN COUNCIL OF THE BLIND OF INDIANA

The American Council of the Blind of Indiana (ACBI) believes in helping to Foster Voices, Choices, and Communities. We strive for the betterment of the blind community in Indiana by increasing the independence, security, equality of opportunity, and enhancing lives of people of all ages and backgrounds with vision loss... In July of 1961 the American Council of the Blind National Organization was formed. In the fall of 1971, it became apparent that Indiana needed to establish a state affiliate of ACB. Thanks to the Indianapolis Star Fund for the Blind, a mailing was sent to 8,000 legally blind Hoosiers inviting them to attend an in-person meeting at the Atkinson Hotel in downtown Indianapolis.
