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).

San Francisco Examiner Title: DISABLED PROTEST IN S.F PHOTO by Michael Macor: A Squad of five or more police in white riot or motorcycle type helmets grab at a man with CP (Chris Hronis) who is coming out of his wheelchair. Beside him another man in a chair (George Florum) holds the back of Chris' chair, and in front of George another person, partially obscured, in a power chair, is pulled in tight and parked. Caption: Chris Hronis is put back in his wheelchair after blocking the entrance to a health-care convention at San Francisco’s Marriott Hotel on Sunday. He was among 300 wheelchair-bound demonstrators calling for more funding for home attendants so people with handicaps can live outside of nursing homes. [A-4]
