The Model White Cane Law
And White Cane Safety Day

          Many organizations and people seem to want to take credit for White Cane Safety Day, however, it was the work of the National Federation of the Blind which got it started.

          White Cane Safety Day is celebrated to remind all of us about the abilities, rights and responsibilties of the blind. Here is a section from the Legal Information Institute site.

§ 169d. White Cane Safety Day

The President is hereby authorized to issue annually a proclamation designating October 15 as White Cane Safety Day and calling upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

          I'll be posting the text of the model White Cane Law here soon.
