See different categories: Signing Is Like a Tree by Ella Mae Lentz (poem), Black Hole: Color ASL by Debbie Rennie (poem), Hands by Valli Clayton (poem), A.S.L. by Eddie Swayze (artwork), Chat on the Balcony by Uzi Buzgalo (artwork), Eugenics ABC by Ruthie Jordan (ABC Story) Kathy Fisher-Abraham " Yes! ASL is a LANGUAGE!" Kathy Fisher-Abraham 9x12 sketch media paper, pencil, ink (dots on face), and coloring pencils along with the original art work of the signing hands ( classifiers) in the background. Tearing out the print to show the world that ASL is indeed, a LANGUAGE, we would not have used ASL if it was not for STOKOE who discovered that ASL was not just a " mindless gestural language" like Milan and the others said so. ASL wasn't allowed from 1880 until the late 1960s Stokoe argued that ASL was a language and had grammars ( syntax, semantics, pragmatics, morphonemes, etc)... Thanks to him for bringing ASL back to us! #ASL28Challenge

Now I would like to discuss regarding Deaf Culture. Sign for Deaf Culture as an example and its sign apparently Sign English with two different hand-shapes for CULTURE. Currently, we discussed and brainstorm for a new proposal sign for CULTURE to be analyzed for the right concept. What consists of CULTURE to use such as for COMMUNITY, TRADITION, VALUE,

5 HISTORY, ARTS, TECHNOLOGY, CELEBRATIONS, LANGUAGE and many more like Melting Pot to define the CULTURE. Let s focus on ASL usages/phraseology to create a sign without jargon for CULTURE. CULTURE that anyone ranging from young children to adult that could be conveyed explicitly. So, the most common hand-shape is to analogize signs for CULTURE to be equalled to as example following after you focus and analyze how the signs form. STORIES, TRADITION, TEACHING, INFORMATION, INFORMATIVE, SHARING, or EXCHANGE, LEARNING, FOOD, FEAST, BEAUTIFUL, IN LOVE FOR, INSPIRED, EXPERIENCING, INVOLVING, ENRICHMENT, SELF-ESTEEMED, PHILOSOPHICAL, POSTULATE or IDEA, CLEARLY VISIBLE. As it is EVERYTHING that to be incorporated in CULTURE. See the similar hand-shape and its movement to be correlated sign to the WORLD, then eliminate above hand-shape and remain in the bottom of hand-shape for its movement. Rhetorical reason for this hand-shape and its movement as it represents COLOR OF PEOPLE (HS:5), to explore and study their heritage culture as I just presented all possible of signs related to ASL for CULTURE to be included. That closed hand-shape presents their VALUES and close-knitted community. Its minority that you can be captivated by their culture and also to learn and immerse. How could you discuss by using new sign for CULTURE as example that you can use people of their countries, things, and others to sign next to CULTURE just like you would state anything to discuss about CULTURE to be specified. Someone expressed concerns for possible to be misunderstood for similar sign for Autism, Transgenders, and other signs hence you should able to recognize how it governs by ASL parameters that defines diversely. That proposal location is a neutral space for general to the culture. Lastly, proposal sign for CULTURE! Let s sign DEAF CULTURE!
