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: A single file line of wheelchairs in the middle of a street (see ADAPT 407). Behind them is a somewhat desolate city view. From Left to right: A man in a motorized wheelchair with an ADAPT sticker on the side, then Patty Leffingwell in a motorized chair wearing an ADAPT headband over her hat and holding a bag. On the side of her chair are ADAPT stickers including one that reads "steps spell discrimination" with the ADAPT no steps logo. In front of her is George Cooper in a manual wheelchair; he is an older man wearing a green ADAPT shirt and he has strong looking biceps. In front of him is Greg Buchannan in a motorized wheelchair with the "steps" bumper sticker. Beside him is an attendant who is handing him a drink.
