Anne Sullivan begins teaching Helen Keller

Anne Sullivan arrived at Helen Keller's house on March 5, 1887, a date Keller remembered as "my soul's birthday," per the Keller article.

The Keller article states that Sullivan arrived at Keller's house on March 5, 1887, a day Keller would forever remember as "my soul's birthday." The Sullivan article separately gives March 3, 1887, as the date she began her work at the Kellers' home in Alabama. The two dates are kept distinct: March 5 is treated as the arrival, March 3 as the start of work. The location is identified only at the level of the state; the passages do not geocode the house.
