PHOTO: Dozens of ADAPT folks sit in a horseshoe or oval on some grass. Behind on one side is the Georgia Health Care Association building and hanging over their sign is a home-made ADAPT banner that says "institutions hell no we won't go" and a broken wheelchair symbol on one side. A man in a power chair, with a cap on his head and the brim to one side, sits next to Heather Blank. A slight woman in a manual wheelchair, wearing a pale ADAPT T-shirt and cap talks with a woman in a power chair with a large lap board and a sign that reads "homes with attendants, not institutions." On her far side is Terry Howlett. Facing them with his back to the camera is Jim Parker, then a dark haired woman in a manual chair, then Stephanie Thomas with her fuzzy fro, then a man holding a sign that says "we want independent living now!" - ADAPT (627)
Atlanta Constitution Oct 3, 1990 Disabled demand help PHOTO (by Michael A. Schwarz/Staff): Man in a motorized wheelchair, Danny Saenz, holding a drink in one hand grabs the door of a suburban car and holds it slightly open while the driver, taken aback, looks at him. A policeman holds the man's other arm and tries to pull him away from the car. Behind them protesters with signs are visible, and behind them a small office building with tall pine trees in the very back. Caption reads: Danny Saenz, protesting Tuesday with American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today, tries to stop Fred Watson, an official of the Georgia Health Care Association, from leaving his office. PHOTO (by Michael A. Schwarz/Staff): Two policemen hold a disabled man (Randy Horton) up by his arms at about their waist height. His legs extend out to the side and he holds his arms out in front of him. One of the policemen is doing most of the work, struggling to hold him back, while the other looks on with a neutral expression and simply holds his other arm. A couple of cars in the background indicate they are in a parking lot. PHOTO (by Michael A. Schwarz/Staff): A small woman holding a sign "Honk if you support us" in one hand and her other arm raised, sits a top the suburban. The car is surrounded by protesters in wheelchairs, two are up against the back, blocking it, three others have signs and most appear to be chanting. Their signs read "Free Our People" (on a huge placard) and "We want Independent Living Now" Caption reads: Protesters surround Mr. Watson's van (above) before police move in (left). Article, Page D2. - ADAPT (619)
PHOTO (by Tom Olin): Inside a city bus that gleams on all it's metal surfaces and casts a blue green light across everything. A woman (Diane Coleman) in a motorized wheelchair sits in the aisle and smiles slightly. She wears and ADAPT headband and holds a flat object - like a pad of paper - in one hand, and something else in the other. Across her long red skirt is an orange poster that reads "A.D.A.P.T. or PERISH." A police officer facing the back of the bus is bending over her shoulder doing something behind her chair. In the wheelchair seating behind and to her right a man in a wheelchair (James JT Templeton) watches what the officer is doing, his hand resting against his cheek. On Diane's left and behind another man (Jim Parker) also seems to be watching what the officer is doing. He also has a headband on and his gloved hand is resting on the windowsill of the bus. - ADAPT (622)
PHOTO (by Tom Olin): A group of ADAPT people in black ADAPT T-shirts with the no steps logo with "Free Our People" printed below are gathered at the back of a yellow brick building (the Georgia Health Care Association). There are two small back porches with metal railings and steps. Some of the group have gone up the steps of one, there is a man in a wheelchair sitting on the porch on the right side of the picture and another man sitting on the edge of the porch, his legs hanging down. In front of them another protester wearing denim sits in an old institutional type manual wheelchair. All three are looking to the steps of the porch on the left where some some attendants seem to be helping other protesters up the steps of the other porch. One man is standing in the center, his mouth slightly open. A camera person is taking a still photo of the people on the steps. - ADAPT (614)

Two uniformed police officers drag a disabled man (Randy Horton) across a parking lot. The have his shoulders at about the level of their waists. The disabled man has his arms extended in front of him and his body is twisted so his head faces front while his legs and feet are sideways; his shirt is being lifted up so part of his stomach is exposed. One of the policemen looks almost removed and amused, while the other is struggling more, his feet apart in mid-step. A couple of cars are behind the trio and no wheelchair is in sight. The disabled man has a odd expression on his face, part smile, part grimace.
