The Lost Shared Signing Community of Lantz Mills and Shenandoah County, Virginia by Kathleen L. Brockway PDF Summary

Book Description: This individual booklet (3.26.2022) will later turn into a Chapter (2023) will introduce viewers to oral interviews, signed narratives, and historical artifacts of the lost shared signing community of Lantz Mills and Shenandoah County, Virginia between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries. Perhaps the best known American historical shared signing community was made popular by Nora Groce in her 1985 work, Everyone Here Spoke Sign Language: Hereditary Deafness on Martha's Vineyard. Numerous references demonstrate that deaf and hearing townspeople communicated and understood a common sign language in the Massachusetts island colony. For years, historians, writers, and the deaf community have assumed that the Martha's Vineyard confluence was a singular event. The unearthing of these Lantz Mills community stories, however, excavates yet another unique space where community members utilized a visual language and affordances to thrive as a collective. Deaf citizens of the Lantz Mills area played an important and unique role in the life and economy of the community. The documentation and narratives surrounding this endangered 'shared signing community' (McKay-Cody, 2019) are not only important to American deaf communities, but also serve as an important - and initial - chapter in the story of deaf residents in Shenandoah County. There are more stories and details and artifacts to share.
