ADAPT (517)
Disabled Protesting Lack of Access to Buses Win Partial Victory from page B1 [we don't have part one of this story] ...it was the best they could hope for at present and agreed to stop blocking the building's doors and elevators. More than 100 people, most of them in wheelchairs, participated in the protests Monday and Tuesday. ADAPT members had planned to maintain a symbolic presence at the building after the agreement was reached, but no protesters were visible inside the facility Tuesday night. Authorities had attempted to eject protesters from the building Monday evening, but President Bush intervened and let them spend the night inside rather than send them out into the rain. During the lunch hour Tuesday, before the settlement was reached, tensions escalated between demonstrators and the building's employees. Protesters blocked elevators on the plaza level, forcing office workers and visitors to climb the stairs in the 26-story building. Security guards, who until then had stood by and watched, donned blue surgical gloves and forcibly removed some protesters from the elevators so people could pass. Having equal access to public transportation is a goal disabled people say they have fought years to attain. By denying able-bodied people access to the federal building was a way of underscoring the barriers they have in their daily lives, protesters said. But some people viewed the demonstration as an inconvenience and not as a tactic to gain rights for the disabled. "l wasn't their momma, and I didn't have them and l'm not God, so why do I have to put up with this?" argued one woman. Rhonda Lester of Denver, whose 5-year-old son was among the protesters, got into a face-to-face shouting match with her. After security officers stepped in, Ms. Lester said she understood the woman's point. "But she has to understand ours," she said. “Where would blacks be without protests?“ Although 35 percent of the nation's 50,000 buses have wheelchair lifts, handicapped persons say, they sometimes have to wait at a bus stop for an hour before one comes by with a lift or a bus driver who knows how to operate it.

PHOTO (by Tom Olin) Slightly on angle, this picture is filled with people and a sense of motion. It focuses an elevator in a fancy building and the struggle at that elevator door. Inside the elevator you can see the head of some kind of police officer with a gold badge on his hat. Behind him, deeper in the elevator you can barely make out a woman with a white necklace standing back from the door. In front of the officer a young woman (Rhonda Lester), with an ADAPT bandanna tied like a headband, body-blocks one of the elevator doors as she holds the rim of the doorway with both hands. Next to her a man in a power wheelchair (Arthur Campbell) fills the rest of the doorway. He is wearing a peach colored ADAPT T-shirt with the no steps ADAPT logo and is bracing his body in his chair and against the woman's back. To his right, just outside the doorway of the elevator a young man in a manual wheelchair (Kent Killium) in a Chicago ADAPT "ADAPT or Perish" T-shirt (with the evolution series from ape to man and ending in a wheelchair) sits holding onto Arthur's power chair and looking at the struggle in the doorway. In front of Kent's chair is another power wheelchair user (Rick James) with a dark beard and and a red ADAPT bandanna tied around his black hat; he too is watching the struggle over his shoulder, hand on his joy stick ready to make a move. Behind Kent is a sign that reads Plaza Level and some other words that are not really in focus, and next to that sign is a camera person shooting footage of the struggle. Another camera person is in front of Rick, with his back to the photographer. Both of these cameras look like the large professional kind with lights and microphones attached to the cameras. Two women stand with their backs to the camera filling the bottom of the picture, one seems to be holding onto the back of a manual wheelchair. Someone's arm is fulling extended from out of the picture and he is holding a small box of some kind out toward the elevator.
