ADAPT (540)
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.

Photo (by John Spink/Staff): Close up of a manual sports wheelchair's wheels. Person in chair is only partially shown holding the push rim. On the spoke guard of the back wheel are 4 bumper stickers that form a square around the hub: 2 read Proud and disAbled, one partially obscured sticker reads I (heart) Park Mill and the 4th one is unreadable. A second manual wheelchair is just visible behind the first one and the legs of someone standing behind that second chair. Caption: A disabled protester uses wheelchair stickers to make a point during Wednesday’s demonstration at the Greyhound bus station. 9/98 [Headline] Demonstrators Get Suspended Fines by Alma E. Hill, Staff Writer Twenty disabled protesters pleaded no contest Thursday in Atlanta Municipal Court to disorderly conduct charges growing out of a demonstration at the Greyhound bus station that blocked buses for almost five hours. Each of the protesters received a $75 fine that was suspended by Chief Judge Andrew Mickle in a plea bargain agreement. State criminal trespass charges filed against six other protesters were dismissed. A hearing on two aggravated assault charges against another demonstrator was rescheduled for early January, Judge Mickle said. The court session marked the end of three days of demonstrations by more than 100 ADAPT activists to protest the lack of wheelchair lifts on public buses and private intercity carriers. Although the group did not succeed in its initial demands to obtain an executive order from U.S. Transportation Secretary Samuel K. Skinner requiring all new buses purchased with federal dollars to have lifts, ADAPT leaders were claiming a victory. The demonstrators obtained promises from transit and federal transportation officials to meet with them. Also, they are counting on federal transit officials to discourage transit operators from making hurried purchases of buses without lifts before federal law mandates the devices.

PHOTO (by Tom Olin): Mike Auberger lies, knees bent to fit, in the baggage compartment of a Greyhound bus. The compartment and the one beside it are empty except for him. His empty wheelchair with its raised leg rest sits by the bus. You can see the compartment would not really be tall enough to sit up in and it is not long enough to lie down in with bending at the knees. The metal walls and door mechanisms are visible. Outside Mike's compartment a sign is taped, it reads Stop your lying! Tell the Truth!
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.
