Programs for pageants, 1974 - 1979
Scope and Contents
Records on Dr. Sonnenstrahl’s involvement in DC-area deaf organizations. In particular, this series covers Dr. Sonnenstrahl’s work at the National Center for Law and the Deaf, where she was director of the Deaf Consumer Education Pilot Project (DCEPP) in the late 1970s.
Also includes some material from the 1979 Maryland Association of the Deaf (MDAD) convention in Ocean City and programs from deaf beauty pageants – some that Dr. Sonnenstrahl served as a judge for, and some that her daughter, Beth, competed in.
