Discriminated Against, Deaf Man Wins State Award

A deaf couple was forced to live on Social Security for two years because employers would not give either one of them a chance. Nothing unusual about that. What is unusual is how blatant the discrimination was. At one job interview where both husband and wife went, the interviewer actually left the room to go talk to coworkers, AND his wife lipread the interviewer saying bad things about her husband.

After two years of discrimination the husband finally turned to a state government program for help and training. At last he got a job, and was nominated for the state work program award - which he won.
