When Willie Fay Lewis opened the Lighthouse for the Blind of Fort Worth in 1935, blind workers made hand-sewn items, like pillowcases, dolls, and placemats. In this historical photo, Dora Mae Gouge sews a pillowcase in the Lighthouse sewing room in 1947. Today, however, the sewing rooms are a thing of the past, and workers are creating military-grade boxes, shipping tubes, and even high-quality prescription lenses! While the products may have have changed, the mission has remained constant - to empower people who are blind to lead independent, successful lives. #lighthousefw #lighthousehistory #historicalfortworth
