"In July 1989, deaf people and friends, families, and colleagues of deaf people-totaling over 6,000-came from 80 countries to Washington, DC to participate in The Deaf Way Conference and Festival, a first-of-its-kind event. During the week-long occasion, participants shared information, both formally and informally, about sign languages, cultures, and histories of deaf individuals and communities around the world. There were more than 300 presentations at the conference and festivals were held in the evenings." (p. 24)
