The Deaf President Now protest at Gallaudet University was led by Deaf students and supporters.

The Deaf President Now protest at Gallaudet University was led by the deaf students and their supporters. This historic protest took place in 1988 and aimed to bring attention to the lack of representation and opportunities for deaf individuals in higher education. The protesters demanded that a deaf person be appointed as the university's president, as all previous presidents had been hearing. The protest was successful, resulting in the appointment of Dr. I. King Jordan as the first deaf president of Gallaudet University.
