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 Nancy Engelbretson, The Phoenix Gazette Title: 37 arrested in wheelchair protest Two men in suits stand on either side of a skinny old man (Frank McColm) in a manual wheelchair. One has his back to the camera, the other is bending down doing something with Frank's breaks; you can just see part of his badge on his belt. Frank looks alarmed; he is being tipped back on his back wheels. His hands are on his armrests. His pants legs are up almost to his knees and his legs are crossed. Behind them is a large almost empty parking lot. Caption reads: Frank McColm of Denver jams on his wheelchair hand brake as Phoenix police officers attempt to remove him from the Phoenix bus depot Tuesday during another protest by members of the American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit. Police arrested 37 people, most of them for trespassing after they refused to leave until they could board a bus. ADAPT wants all buses equipped with wheelchair lifts. Sixty-nine arrests have been made since the group arrived Sunday to protest meetings of the American Public Transit Association. That convention ends today. April 8th, 1987

Both are yelling, their faces full of passion. caption reads: wheelchair protesters [Headline] Disabled blast transportation, Protest inaccessibility by Gary Martin, Express-News Staff Writer About 50 disabled rights activists from across the nation rolled through downtown San Antonio streets in wheelchairs Sunday, protesting inaccessible public transportation for the handicapped. The group of protesters, American Disabled for Accessible Public Transportation (ADAPT), headed the march into the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Hotel where the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) is holding a five-day conference. Chanting “We will ride" and “Access now," the group presented a resolution to APTA officials, asking for support of federal regulations that would force local communities to install wheelchair lifts in all public transportation vehicles. Jean Stewart, spokeswoman for ADAPT, said the group wants 100 percent accessibility to all public transportation nationwide and accused APTA of segregating disabled riders by not supporting federal regulation of the industry. “To us there is no difference between riding a different bus and riding in the back of a bus if you’re black,” said Stewart, a resident of Poughkeepsie, N.Y. A San Antonio marcher, Rachel Rodriguez of 7180 Oaklawn Drive, said she was forced to ride VIAtrans vans in San Antonio because buses were not accessible for handicapped patrons. “You feel like your rights are violated,” she said. “lt‘s not a matter of riding in the back of the bus, it's a matter of not riding at all.” The group met wit APTA officials only after refusing to leave the Hyatt registration desk. Defending current policies of APTA, Vice President Jack Gilstrap said each community should have the opportunity to design its own system for its own particular needs. "There is no place for federal regulations,” he said. Gilstrap also accused the ADAPT group of trying to take away “this wonderful system" that has increased its service to disabled riders by l0 times over the past few years. Hecklers attacked Gilstrap and the VIA Metropolitan Transit System saying the convention site, San Antonio, had the worst accessible public transportation system in Texas. Although no VIA officials attended the rally, General Manager Wayne Cook said the local system contains 20 vans that carry 9,000 disabled riders each month. Cook said VIA purchased the vans instead of placing lifts in its buses after a committee representing the disabled requested the special access vans. At a cost of $1.2 million, Cook said the local system will spend four times more for disabled riders than the federal government requires. “We are very dedicated to serving the handicapped in San Antonio," he said.

Gazette Telegraph PHOTO (by Bob Jackson/Gazette Telegraph): A plainclothes officer (a radio in his pocket) and beefy uniformed officer tip Frank McComb back in his manual wheelchair as they load him into a van. The plain clothes guy puts his hand on Frank's head (to prevent bumping it). In the shadows inside you can see another officer crouching next to another wheelchair at the back of the van. The wheelchairs in all these pictures are very old style; the would even look outdated in an airport or hospital now.

McColom was protesting what he sold was McDonald's lack of access for the handicapped. [Headline] Handicapped arrested at McDonald’s By Chris Cobler, GT Staff Writer Colorado Springs police arrested 11 people protesting what they called a lack of accessibility for the handicapped at McDonald's restaurants Friday. The protest, at McDonald’s downtown restaurant, 207 N. Wahsatch Ave., was part of a nationwide action involving the fast food chain. [The page is torn here. Missing words are filled in in brackets, where possible.] The protest was the second in two days by about two dozen wheelchair-bound members of the Access Institute, a Denver based national organization for the [handicapped.] Denver police arrested [several people] Thursday in a similar protest [at another] McDonald’s restaurant there. [The demonstrators] wheeled their chairs [...] entrances to the parking lot at [the Wahsatch] Avenue McDonald's about [....] Police arrested the 11 an hour later on suspicion of obstruction of traffic when they refused to move from a city alley behind McDonald's. “The plan today is to make people aware that McDonald's doesn't have a national policy of accessibility,” said Bob Conrad, a community organizer QC the Atlantis Community in Denver, which is affiliated with the Access Institute. Conrad said the the protesters are seeking three changes at McDonald's: remodeling of existing restaurants for access for the disabled, such access to be constructed at all new restaurants and for the company to include disabled people in 10 percent of all its advertisements. Robert Keyser, director of media relations for McDonald‘s Corp., Oak Brook, Ill., said in Colorado Springs Friday that his company has talked with Access Institute for the past six months and planned to meet with the group Tuesday in Denver. The protests of the past two days are not a show of good faith by the group, Keyser said. McDonald’s is eager to learn from the group about ways to improve its restaurants, but is not prepared to immediately satisfy all requests, Keyser said. “I think it's irresponsible to make demonstrations without being as completely educated as possible about the way a major company like ours does business," said Keyser, who flew to Colorado Springs Friday from the McDonald's corporate headquarters near Chicago. “It’s going to be a two-way dialogue." Representatives of the McDonald's franchises in the Springs area declined to answer questions about the dispute and See 11 ARRESTED Page A2
