SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
At the request of the newly formed Mt. Diablo Chapter of the
National Federation of the Blind of California, the Board of
Supervisors proclaims October 15, 1991, WHITE CANE SAFETY
DAY IN CONTRA COSTA COUNTY.
BACKGROUND:
The white cane, which every blind citizen of our county has
the right to carry, demonstrates and symbolizes his/her
ability to achieve a full and independent life, and his/her
'capacity to work productively in competitive employment.
The white cane, by allowing every blind person the move
freely and safely from place to place, makes it possible for
him/her fully to participate in and contribute to our
society.
The State of California, through its public agencies, and
with the cooperative assistance of the National Federation
of the Blind of California, can look forward to a continued
expansion of employment opportunities for the greater
acceptance of blind persons in the competitive labor market.
