The American Council of the Blind (ACB) is a nationwide organization in the United States.
It is an organization mainly made up of blind and visually impaired people who want to achieve independence and equality (although there are many sighted members with common aims).
The American Council of the Blind was formed out of the dissolution of the Braille Free Press Association in 1961.
It was highly critical of the American Foundation for the Blind, and the ACB was formed as an alternative to it.
[1] The ACB was also very critical of the National Federation of the Blind which many of its first members had also originally belonged to.
