DeafBlind woman recognized in a Jeopardy! Clue
Haben Girma, a well-known DeafBlind woman, tweeted last night that she was mentioned as a clue in the Jeopardy! game show.
The clue said, “Haben Girma, who advocates for disability rights, was the first Deafblind person to graduate from this law school.”
The right question is… “What is Harvard?”
See her tweet about this.
