Talk:Sophia Alcorn

Untitled
This article was created because of a research journal entry by one of my students at the University of Kentucky as part of the History of Kentucky Women in the Civil Rights Era, an Open Knowledge Iniative found at www.kywcrh.org.

 * Finally! An accurate article about Sophia Alcorn! My uncle was Tad Chapman. You'll notice that Perkins again claims the "development" of the Tadoma Method. In truth, they accepted Tad to Perkins only AFTER he learned to finger-spell because they did not believe he would be able to only use Tadoma effectively. I am not a scholar and I have not kept up the Tad Chapman/Tadoma blog. I started the blog to provide searchable information about Tad and Tadoma after I was not allowed to edit the Tadoma wiki because it was based on first-person experience. I have sent most of Tad's archive to Perkins Archivists including the sandpaper letters used by Sophia Alcorn, and my grandfather's extensive correspondence to find a teacher for Tad.
