An online exhibit from Gallaudet recounts the stories of deaf printers
Cities large and small had print shops — from small endeavors to large operations at newspapers such as The Post. The skills required to turn hot lead into letters on a Linotype machine or to position a strip of cold type on a grid board were easily transferrable. Printing was a flexible, well-paid job, one that could help usher deaf workers and their families into the middle class.
A section of the website highlights the International Typographical Union, which helped its members in the workplace. Not that the relationship was always smooth. At first, deaf people seldom attended gatherings of The Post’s printers union — “chapel” meetings in newspaper parlance. That’s because the meetings weren’t interpreted.At first, the union fought DeLap’s efforts to bring in an interpreter. Chapel meetings were confidential and outsiders weren’t allowed, went the argument.
Even so, the printers who gathered to share lunch and memories were proud of the work they did and the advances they made.
