Continuing our #WhiteCaneDay celebrations, we asked Perkins Library's Beth and Cory to show us a few of the different canes from their collections. 🧑🦯
Let us know if you would like to see even more. There are plenty of canes in the @blindnewworld.bsky.social to discover!

Elin once kept her cane hidden in a box. When she picked it back up, it gave her freedom and independence.

#WhiteCaneDay, which happens every year on October 15, was established in 1964 by President Lyndon B. Johnson as a time to honor the achievements and independence of the #Blind and #LowVision community, while also highlighting the white cane as, not just a tool, but a symbol.
