New York Times, National, Monday October 7, 1991 PHOTO by Phelan M Ebenack for the New York Times: A mass of people in wheelchairs and standing work to get through police barricades and tables set sideways as barricades. In the center top Carolyn Long looks down at a protester. To her left two standing men struggle over a barrier. To her right and in front, on the far right a woman stands in an ADAPT shirt, and beside her a woman in white shorts (Babs Johnson) stands behind an older man in a scooter (Ben?) A second scooter is just visible behind him. In front of them in the center of the picture a woman with some of her hair missing (Karen Greebon) is making a power fist in her electric wheelchair. In the foreground three people in wheelchairs struggle with a table barricade; Doug Chastain is in the middle, the other two are looking away from the camera. The caption reads: Advocates for the Disabled Protest At Nursing Home Convention. More than 300 advocates for the disabled yesterday stormed a hotel in Orlando, Fla., where representatives of the nursing home industry were holding a convention. Some wheelchair-bound demonstrators tried to break through barricades; 50 were arrested on charges of trespassing. The protest was part of a campaign to redirect Federal money toward in-home care and away from nursing homes.

Frank Lozano lies on the cement ground with a yellow poster that reads "People do not let your grandparents or elderly relatives live in nursing 'homes'." His guide dog Frazier lies beside him on one side. On his other side Lonnie Smith lies with his head resting on a wheelchair cushion. Above their heads Karen Greebon is lying on her side facing away with a partially obscured poster by her head that reads "stop inhuman services." The three are framed by Karen and Lonnie's wheelchairs.
