ADAPT (291)
This is a continuation of the story on ADAPT 292 but the entire text of the story is included there for easier reading. [this page also includes a second article] [Headline] 17 disrupt bus service, now facing court date The 2,300 APTA delegates, meeting through Thursday at the Westin Hotel, heard keynote speaker Ed Bradley of CBS News condem the tactics and positions of the handicappers. Bradley said he was lobbied by the Denver-based ADAPT to cancel his speaking engagement at the convention, but, after checking with Mayor Young and investigating ADAPT and its tactics, he decided he couldn't support the group. Bradley said he also checked with civil rights leader Rosa Parks, who canceled an appearance at a downtown ADAPT parade Sunday, saying she disapproved of their tactics. Mayor Young, in a press conference after his welcoming remarks to the convention, defended the city's efforts to provide wheelchair lifts on buses. He said the protesters, who have staged similar demonstrations at previous APTA conferences, using "Sabotage and sensationalism" to take "advantage of their disabilities tothrow themselves in front of buses. That's not the way to win co-operation." Young said the city recently bought 100 new buses, 20 of which were lift-equipped. "Rumpelstiltskin could make gold come out of straw," he said. "If I had that facility I would be able to do what they (ADAPT) ask."
ADAPT (277)
Unattributed quote "It seems to me that this group of yelling protesting handicappers is to the handicapper rights movement what the freedom riders were to more conservative members of the civil rights movement. They are righteous hellions whose goals are shared by other handicappers, even though their extreme tactics are sometimes rejected." PHOTO: A large round man in a manual wheelchair (Jerry Eubanks) is being escorted by three uniformed police officers. Jerry, a double amputee, holds his arms up from the wheels and two of the policemen are trying to hold onto his arms, while the third pushes him forward. Jerry looks slightly surprised and amused.
