[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

I got back from the NFB convention two days ago. I thought it was fun and 
informative! I got to catch up with many Nebraska friends and meet new 
people. Throughout the 50th aniversary convention, Kenneth Jernigan and 
NFB president Marc Maurer and founder Hazel ten Brook kept talking about 
the Civil War that caused a split in the NFB during the early 1960s. Can 
anyone tell me why the split occurred and why are people dwelling on it 
after 30 years? Lloyd and Phil can probably shed some light on this for 
me. Also, is it true that if you are an NFB member then you cannot join 
the ACB? I wish the two groups would shove their differences out of the 
way and work together to improve our lives. I like the philosophy of the 
NFB, but I'm really turned off by backstabbing of other organizations. 
Wish I could have gone to the ACB convention as well. We did not have a 
chance to organize a Blinktalk gathering. I was too  busy running around 
arranging interviews and getting info for the paper so I admit I forgot 
about organizing a Blinktalk get-together.
Any info on this subjec would be greatly appreciated 
Liz
