Victorian Philanthropist, Dr Thomas Rhodes Armitage met like-minded American visionary, Francis Joseph Campbell. Armitage was focused on offering blind students a good education which would lead on to worthwhile employment, while Campbell, a music teacher in several blind schools, had been forced to flee the US after voicing his opinions on anti-slavery. He arrived in England after he was spared hanging due to public sympathy for his blindness.
