Note: In the anchor topic, Jill mentions a song. I don’t think I found the right one, and I didn’t have time to contact the folks who posted: “White Cane Day” on youtube.com.

Here are notes from their youtube post:

White Cane Safety Day is October 15th! Jack Straw Cultural Center and students in the 2016 Blind Youth Audio Project wrote and recorded this song in honor of this annual celebration, first proclaimed by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. More information on White Cane Safety Day can be found at the National Federation of the Blind’s web site: https://nfb.org/white-cane-safety-day
