These are two examples of the tickets purchased by ADAPT to ride the subway from Longueuil (a city across the Saint Lawrence River from Montreal) to Montreal. Trying to ride this inaccessible system was part of our action.

PHOTO by Tom Olin: Looking up at two men with disabilities are sitting on a wide flight of stairs as they climb down. One man (Bob Kafka), with bushy hair and beard is in suspenders, jeans and a thick white shirt. He is holding his right hand above his head, holding a ticket; his mouth is open, yelling. The other man (George Roberts) is wearing a jacket and dark pants and is on his side holding onto a metal railing in the middle of the stairs. In the gloom above them you can see some official looking people with reflective stripes on their jackets, someone standing behind them, possibly filming, and a row of people standing in the far background.

The Toronto Star Tuesday, October 4, 1988 Photo CP Photo: Three men (left to right - Lonnie Smith, Jerry Eubanks, and ET Ernest Taylor) in manual wheelchairs block a bus with a huge "SPECIAL" sign above the front window. About a dozen uniformed police officers stand on the sidewalk. One seems to be doing something to Lonnie's wheelchair. Inside the bus the driver is looking back talking to someone through the open door. [Headline] Protestors Wheel Into Action Three handicapped men block the path of a bus holding several other handicapped people arrested at the Sheraton Centre in Montreal on Sunday. Twenty people were sentenced to three days in jail after they blocked escalators and elevators to protest lack of access for wheelchairs. About 80 police were called in to clear the lobby.

PHOTO: Two policemen in fancy hats and uniforms stand behind metal barred barricades looking down at the man in a manual wheelchair on the other side of the barricade. They look slightly mystified and slightly distainful. The man in the wheelchair (Frank McComb) is looking over his shoulder at the camera. He is an older man in a white buttondown shirt and the backpack on the back of his wheelchair has an ADAPT sticker. His facial expression is somewhere between exasperated and michiveous.

The other policeman is loosely holding the barricade with his hand and knee. Behind them are other barricades and other police and ADAPT protesters in wheelchairs, as well as a bunch of cars.

[Headline] Wheelchair Protesters Unfazed by Metro stairs By PEGGY CURRAN of The Gazette It began when Ronnie Smith deliberately hurled his wheelchair down the stairs at the Longueuil Metro station. Horrified commuters stood by helplessly as the frail-looking Dallas, Tex., man tumbled in a heap at the foot of the stairs. Five Longueuil police officers rushed to pick Smith up and ease him back into his chair. "It wasn't bad," said Smith, 33. "I knew if I made it halfway down, I'd be OK. I knew I'd be shaken up a little bit." Minutes later, 10 more disabled activists had abandoned their wheelchairs, slithering or crawling down the steps to the subway level. Holding up bus tickets, they edged toward the wickets - only to be stopped by a police barricade. Another 30 disabled people remained in the rotunda upstairs, chanting "We will ride" and singing We shall overcome. Most of the protesters were Americans, members of ADAPT - American Disabled for Adapted Public Transit. For five years, the organization has taken radical action to press its demands for better public transit. Often it stages spectacular demonstrations and welcomes arrests. The group came to Montreal for four days to stage protests again at he annual convention of the American Public Transit Association. Since Sunday, some 48 protesters have been arrested during demonstrations at the Sheraton Centre, the chalet on Mount Royal and Place Ville Marie. There were no arrests during yesterday's demonstration. Longueuil police Sgt. Pierre Rheault said his officers would allow the disabled protesters to demonstrate, as long as they agreed to leave peacefully when they were done. And the 15 officers from the Longueuil and Metro police handled the situation with gentleness. Officers offered to carry many of the protesters upstairs at the end of the hour-long sit-in and news conference. And they were quick to intervene when a man, who claimed to be a trained paramedic, lunged at one of the protesters as he lay writhing on the ground. The man, who said he works as a night nurse at Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, had been drinking in a tavern on the lower level of the Metro station when he heard activity in the corridor leading to the trains. He jumped on the disabled man's chest, ignoring pleas to leave the man alone. But police dragged him away, throwing him back into the brasserie and ordering him to stay there until the demonstration was over. Montrealer Francois Gagnon said disabled Quebecers may be afraid to speak out lest they lose the benefits they depend on, such as jobs, disability pensions or housing allowances. But Gagnon said he hopes this week's actions will encourage more handicapped people to step forward to fight for their right to better transit services, and wheelchair access to public washrooms, buildings and housing projects. Meanwhile, at the transit convention, Robert Zuzworsky, a New York Transit Authority driver, was awarded first prize of $1,000 U.S. in the International Bus Roadeo competition held here Tuesday.
