Hey InStars, in this week's episode we continue to shine a light on dark places. First, we get into other sign languages besides American Sign Language or ASL. We discuss Black American Sign Language and Plains Indian Sign Language, two languages that have both suffered from being seen as less than the prestige language of ASL. Then we get into the death of Robin Williams who died by suicide in 2014 after being tortured by Lewy Body Disease. 25 million people nationwide also suffer from this disease. His larger-than-life spirit is missed.

Hi, just looking at the description. It isn’t plausible that 25 million people nationwide have Lewy Body disease. That would be 1 in 13 people in the United States. A quick Google search says that about 1.4 million Americans have Lewy Body Dementia.

The Civil War ended in 1865! I kept saying 1965, sorry!
