Ray Charles had his keyboards marked with braille stickers, including the Yamaha KX88 keyboard now held in the collections of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. In 1994, the musician received a Helen Keller Personal Achievement Award from the American Foundation for the Blind for his determination “not to let his disability limit him.” #BlackHistoryMonth

Today we honor Stevie Wonder. Born as Stevland Hardaway Judkins on May 13, 1950 in Michigan, he lost his sight as a newborn when he came into the world six weeks early with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), an eye disorder caused by abnormal blood vessels throughout the retina. Receiving too much oxygen in the incubator likely worsened the condition for the tiny baby, leaving him blind. #BlackHistoryMonth

February is Black History Month! Dr. Mae Jemison, the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. We love this quote from her:

“Never be limited by other people's limited imaginations. If you adopt their attitudes, then the possibility won't exist because you'll have already shut it out...You can hear other people's wisdom, but you've got to re-evaluate the world for yourself.”

The pandemic relief bill signed just recently by the President extends the $300 universal, above-the-line, deduction for non-itemizers through 2021 and also allows joint filers to deduct up to $600. This deduction only applies to cash gifts. The bill also extends the temporary increase of the adjusted gross income limits for cash gifts through 2021 (100% of AGI for individuals, 25% for corporations).
