US_Capitol_Rotunda_part_2_cap
This is part 2 of the ADAPT Capitol Rotunda protest in support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, ADA. This shows the group preparing for civil disobedience to pressure swift passage of the bill. Over 100 people were arrested at this protest, which gets less attention than the Crawl but was equally intense. The film is open captioned (as are all videos on this museum site).

PHOTO by Tom Olin: On the left side of the picture you can see through a glass door men in tuxedo type outfits looking outside as two men, one in a uniform and one in a sports coat, try with all their force to pull an open glass door closed. On the right, two men in wheelchairs (Joe Carle and Ken Heard) try with all their strength to keep the door open. Ken's face is twisted in determination. Behind them Paulette Patterson and JT Templeton in their wheelchairs watch with concern, as do several other protesters. Larry Ruiz in his chair, and a man standing next to him against the wall of the Casino, look out across the street. At the very edge of the picture you can see a small child (Lincoln Blank?) riding on possibly Laurie's back.

PHOTO Tom Olin?: ADAPT marches down a curvy street, the line snaking back out of sight. All but a couple of people wear their black ADAPT t-shirts with the gold "no steps" logo on the front. Julie Farrar with her "Together Not Apart" sign, and Lillibeth Navarro, with an "Access equals gentler + kinder" sign are at the front of the photo. Behind them are Kim Horton, George Roberts and Mark Johnson. Then Arthur Campbell is guiding the edge of the line from the side, with his grey hair in a headband and pony tail, and next to him a quad with a blue cap sits and Sue Davis is walking toward them. In the next row of marchers is Larry Ruiz and Tommy Malone. Behind them is a woman in a white shirt and behind her is Ken Heard. Behind Ken is a someone walking on crutches with lots of buttons on their shirt. Beside that person a woman (possibly Rhonda Lester) walks and behind her is Jim Parker and Devorah Kappers is pushing someone in a wheelchair. Being pushed by Frank Lozano, Paulette Patterson is riding off to the side of the line, wearing a white t-shirt. Behind her is Lori Eastman and what looks like Rick James and Barb Guthrie.
