Trivia Question of the Week

Congratulations to


Debbie Alford, Martha Spennato, Patsy Ray, Titus Jeffrey, Mary Ellen Denmon, Lauro Esquilona III, Joanna Blau, Bonnie Baldwin, Karen Frantz-Fry, Rebekah Budziszews, Autumn Matthews, and Jenine Catudio who all knew the answer to last week's trivia question:


According to research done on the entertainment industry by the Inevitable Foundation, audiences have expressed “dissatisfaction” with disability representation in the entertainment industry. The “Audiences Are Waiting for Hollywood to Greenlight Disability” report, which surveyed over 1,000 people about the current state of disability and mental health representation on screen, found that what percentage of audiences are “unsatisfied with current representations of disability and mental health in film and TV”?


Answer: 66%

This week's trivia question: 


In 1785, Valentine Haüy established L'Institution Nationale des Jeunes Aveugles in Paris, France. This was the first school ever designed for children with this specific disability (and was also free of charge). What were the children being educated at L'Institution Nationale des Jeunes Aveugles all diagnosed with as a disability?
