Description
This segment from the 1997 Young Heroes Award Ceremony features a profile of honoree Alicia Ketcham, a student at Byrd High School in Shreveport. Even though Cerebral Palsy has left Ketcham unable to speak or control her limbs, it has not stopped her from pursuing her high school diploma, writing poetry, or being an inspiration to other physically challenged students.
