1918 photograph shows deaf students from St. Rita’s School in Cincinnati signing the Star-Spangled Banner in front of a large American flag. Taken during the final year of World War I, the children’s use of sign language shows how national traditions were adapted so everyone could take part. A quiet look at inclusion and shared identity during a time when public unity mattered deeply.
