In 1888, Helen attended the Perkins School for the Blind. In 1894, Helen and Anne moved to New York City to attend the Wright-Humason School for the Deaf and Horace Mann School for the Deaf. In 1896 they returned to Massachusetts and Helen entered The Cambridge School for Young Ladies before gaining admittance, in 1900, to Radcliffe College. In 1904 at the age of 24, Helen graduated from Radcliffe magna *** laude, becoming the first deaf and blind person to graduate from a college.
On September 14, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson awarded Helen Keller the Presidential Medal of Freedom, one of the United States' top two highest civilian honors.
Keller devoted much of her later life to raise funds for the American Foundation for the Blind. She died on June 1, 1968, passing away 26 days before her 88th birthday, in her Easton, Connecticut home.
In 2003, the state of Alabama honored Keller — a native of the state — on its state quarter. The Helen Keller Hospital is also dedicated to her.

I am now not certain why the query of the lifetime of Helen Keller might be classifyed below Royality in view that she was once born in Alabama however she was once born on June 27, 1880 in Tuscumbia, Alabama and died on June one million, 1968 in Easton, Connecticut.

Keller was a deeply committed Socialist, and was proud of it. Late in life she wrote autobiographically that she wished people would care more about what she believed, and why, than in the fact that her eyes and ears didn't work.
