At Gallaudet, he was tea manager for the legendary basketball team, the “Five Iron Men”. He developed the famous ASL translation of Carroll Lewis’s classic poem “jabberwocky”. He invented a succession of “nonsense” animal signs that incorporated the use of his whole body, and intense facial expressions. At 19 years old, he convinced producers to allow the Gallaudet Dramatics Club to perform the play “Arsenic and Old Lace” on Broadway with the best sign language actors in the world. He contracted polio around the time he left teaching. Polio caused him trouble walking, so he moved from Michigan to California to avoid the harsh weather. He encouraged Andrew J.

Describe how ASL students are in a cafe
ASL students respected Deaf persons in 2 important ways: 1) by not presuming he needed help and 2) by deferring to the Deaf person’s decision to handle the situation himself. Deaf people are experienced and adept at communicating with people who do not sign. Deaf community is a linguistic and cultural minority.
Describe how ASL students are in a gallery
The 2 ASL students continually sign while they are in the presence of deaf people and other signers. Their behavior implies “total inclusion” and provides opportunities for deaf people to approach them and chat should they be interested. Signing to the best of one’s ability in a deaf environment shows respect and courtesy to deaf people. By not signing, it would appear just as rude to deaf people as if they had been standing right in the midst of the gathering.
How do you avoid cultural faux pas when you have to bring a non-signing guest to an event with deaf people?
Explain these to your guest prior to attending event:
- it is considered rude to use voice only in a deaf environment
- even when talking with each other, you should both use voice sparingly and only when necessary.
- If you need to approach a deaf person or ASL user, use ASL to relay info to both parties to the best of your ability. Your guest should be patient since you wont be talking and signing at the same time
- In the case of engaging in a convo in ASL with someone else, your guest should not consider it rude if the info isn’t relayed immediately
Can loving language make you a living?
Bilingual pay for possessing fluency in another language adds to your salary. Knowing another language gives you more options and makes you more effective at whatever job you pursue.

The year 1989 was the year the De’VIA (short for Deaf view/Image art) manifesto was created, which Baird help come up with. It was a manifesto that was developed that defined Deaf Culture Art. Baird stated, “Deaf art expresses the values of deaf culture - the beauty of sign language and its painful oppression, the joys of deaf bonding, communication breakdowns between signers and non-signers, the discovery of language and community, and the history of deaf people. Baird was commissioned to do a collection of De’VIA art for his book that was published by DawnSignPress and to create murals for Gallaudet University.
