		Helen Keller, a Starter Course ^Votes:0 News! Helen Keller has been selected by Time as one of the Most Important People of the 20th Century. A Starter Course on Helen Keller Why the Interest? Well, I used to live across the street from Ivy Green, the birthplace of Helen Keller. One day I was surprised to find that there was more to her life than being blind and deaf. And much more than learning to communicate at age 7. Brief bio sketch Helen Keller was born in Tuscumbia, Alabama on June 27, 1880. In February of 1882 she lost her sight and hearing due to a childhood illness.
