PHOTO (by Roberta Barnes/San Antonio Light): A group of marchers, nine are visible but there appear to be more behind them, most in wheelchairs, roll toward the camera. In seems to be windy and sunny and they are on a downtown sidewalk. In the center a man with a busy head of hair and salt and pepper beard (Bob Kafka) rolls his manual chair as he shouts; behind him is a large ADAPT flag. He wears an ADAPT shirt with the no steps logo, suspenders and blue jeans; across is legs is a sign reading "victims of inappropriate accessibility" and he has a bag or something stuffed between his feet. He is looking to his right and a woman in a power chair in a white dress and dark sunglasses looks back at him with a slight smile. She seems to have a parasol. On his left is a man in a motored wheelchair (Hector Saenz) in a button down shirt and suit pants is rolling with him and also yelling. In the row behind them you can see two women in dark sunglasses and dresses walking and carrying posters, one reads "LIFTS NOT LIES." Between Bob and Hector you can see the line goes back and a man with dark hair and a beard (Frank Lozano) is visible pushing another person in a wheelchair. Between the marchers street signs "speed limit 20", "merge left" and a pedestrian crossing sign, are visible.

Caption in large print reads: DISABLED AMERICANS WIN RIGHTS
