On this day in 1886, Anne Sullivan took six-year-old Helen Keller to an old pump house. She put Helen’s hand under the stream of water and spelled “w-a-t-e-r” into her palm. In that moment, Keller learned that everything has a name. You can learn more about Keller, who was an inspiring author, activist, and advocate, on Seriously Amazing Objects: Legends. http://bit.ly/2m3E2ke | Smithsonian Channel
