Knights of the Blind Walk
Melvin Jones created the Lions organization in 1917 but the inspiration for the Lions impetus that caused it to be what it is today was Helen Keller’s challenge in 1925. From that date to now, the primary mission of the Lions of the world has been to prevent blindness. Lions and citizens around the world now have the opportunity to honor Helen Keller’s challenge to become Knights of the Blind.
Many have already contributed to the memorial and Knights of the Blind Walk. Will you join with them to complete the project?
