KurzfilmeTranskript
00:00There's a firestorm this evening at Gallaudet University.
00:09The world's only deaf university.
00:13The time was now to light a match.
00:18The school's board of trustees bypassed two deaf candidates for the school's presidency
00:23in favor of a woman who can hear.
00:26We wanted to scream out.
00:30But how do you scream out in our language?
00:36We knew we would have to have a plan.
00:38Together we're united.
00:40We pull all the fire alarms.
00:44And everyone would know to go outside.
00:47The lights started flickering and I could feel the vibration.
00:53We locked all the gates.
00:55And students blocked any entrance to the campus.
00:58My grandfather called me and he said,
01:01Oh, Lord.
01:07According to Decent, please, you won't be on the ground.
01:10I won't from a sidewalk, son.
01:12We give up our soul in order to get a deaf president.
01:15It wasn't just about getting a deaf president.
01:20It was more than that.
01:24We couldn't accept a leader who didn't understand our world.
01:29She said, deaf people are not ready to function in a hearing world.
01:34You heard it right.
01:34I did not say that.
01:38This is not just a protest.
01:40It's a revolution.
01:50We hear all the time,
01:52you can't, you can't.
01:53No, not this time.
