AN APPEAL FOR ACCESS

PHOTO (Globe staff photo Wendy Maeda): A man (Mike Muehe) in manual wheelchair sits looking straight ahead, smiling. He wears glasses, short hear a jacket, and gloves. Beside him facing in the opposite direction is a woman (Sybil Feldman) in an electric wheelchair wearing a white hat or hood, a winter coat, and gloves. In her left hand she holds a large poster that covers her lap and reads "President Bush: Don't Appeal." The man and woman are clasping hands or give each other a fist bump.

Caption reads: Demonstrators clasp hands during a vigil outside the Federal Transportation Department building in Cambridge yesterday. People with disabilities urged the Bush administration to let stand a US Court of Appeals ruling would mandate all public transit systems receiving federal aid to purchase vehicles that are accessible to disabled people. Similar demonstrations were held in 12 other cities.
