Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “That They May Hear” is a comprehensive recording of the establishment of the National Alliance of Black Interpreters-New York City Chapter. The author in cooperation with chapter Presidents and members reviewed resources, pictures and documents to provide a chronological story of the establishment of the New York City Chapter. The author reflects on those who gave their time, skills and resources to motivate and encourage African American Sign Language students and interpreters as they uplifted an African American Deaf and hard of hearing community and educated a hearing population. It is a reflection of deep admiration for the New York City Chapter’s first Presidents who had entered into a profession that was not always thoughtful or kind. In spite of the many challenges they faced, they made a commitment as the leader of NAOBI=NYC chapter to share their skills and resources to guide their membership in developing a strong foundation that could support and encourage Black Interpreters. The book is written from the perspective of the author. It is a must-read narrative of an African American Interpreter’s never-ending journey down the path as a student, an Interpreter and an advocate.
