Hi Joey, First, let me say how great is is to see you all these years after TBC and our many talks about Deaf people's struggles. You look great and I so enjoy watching your beautiful language skills. For me it is "dark chocolate for the eyes." Second, thanks for digging up this video of Ella's interview. I recently watched her vlog about diversity and "diversions"...WOW!

She is so amazing...you are right... she has been saying this for more than 30 years. Please continue...we want more!

Fantastic find! I want to touch on your point about very slow progress on advancing ASL education: It IS wonderful that it's finally being formally taught at some schools. Let's encourage more of that as fast as we can! What about adult Deaf? Are we going to just leave a huge gap between the current young generation and "us"? A big part of culture is interaction between all ages of said culture, right? How about formal ASL courses primarily made for adult/post school age Deaf?

Joey, glad that you took your time to share this old video with us. Wow! Ella's goals are no change since 1977. Wow! I did recognized her before you mentioned her name even I haven't met her and I hope I will. Her facial expressions don't change at all.

First thing I didnt noticed a young lady.. u called Ella.. I said myself what!! She looks different... Yes I cant believe that she still bring her own same words. Thank you for sharing.. Enjoy your first day at work.

Wow, that's a great find to this 35 year old interview with Ella. Obviously she still stays with that same principle and philosophy ever since. Here to a big hope that is noticed to use that same principle and philosophy to implement ASL in each Deaf Schools while barring audism everywhere.

Wow, the Ella part, that has inspired me tremendously. Hope you will get a permission to show the whole interview soon, I can't wait to see it.
