September 27, 1928 - October 29, 2018
Our beloved friend Bernard Bragg left this world peacefully in the company of loved ones on October 29, 2018. Known as "BB" to his friends and to the international deaf community, Bragg was the first professional deaf actor in the United States and is widely acknowledged as the father of Deaf Theater. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Gallaudet University, New York School for the Deaf, Deaf West Theatre or Jewish Deaf Community Center. A guestbook is posted at legacy.com.
