  • Come to America with me!
  • Louis Laurent Marie Clerc was born into an important family on December 26, 1785 in La Balme-les-Grottes, in southeastern France.
  • When he was about a 1 years old, Clerc fell from his high chair into the kitchen fireplace. His right cheek was severely burrned, a fever came too, and later, it was discovered that his senses of hearing and smell were damaged. It was never clear if this resulted from his accident or if he was born with those disabilities
  • Gallaudet went to the Royal Institution for the Deaf, where Clerc became his Sign Language teacher. The two worked and studied well together. When the time came for Gallaudet to return to America, he asked Clerc to come with him. Clerc accepted on one condition: that he would stay in America only a short time.
  • The government and I have decided to fund 300k to help expand the asylum and build extra builings
  • They went to America
  • On April 15, 1817, rented rooms made up their school which opened with seven students Alice Cogswell being the first to enroll. It was first called the Connecticut Asylum at Hartford for the Instruction of Deaf and Dumb Persons but now the American School for the Deaf). Gallaudet was the principal and Clerc was the head teacher. A year later, poor and uneducated students filled the school. They ranged from 10 to 51 years of age.
  • On May 28, 1818, through Gallaudet's reading of his speech, Clerc addressed the Connecticut Legislature becoming the first deaf person to ever do so. In the 1819-1820 session, with the help of Mr. Clay the congressmen from Connecticut sponsored a bill granting the school with 20,000 acres of government land in the state of Alabama. President Monroe easily sanctioned the act. That land was sold for around $300,000 The proceeds were used to construct school buildings at the Asylum and start an endowment from which income could be drawn for the school.
