PHOTO by Tom Olin: A line of ADAPT protesters in wheelchairs, and a few standing, cross the city street. In front of them a uniformed policeman and a plain clothes cop stand together conferring but looking in different directions. Behind the two a man on crutches stands almost hidden. Behind the line of protesters are 2 large city buses, blocked by the protest. One has a sign on top that reads Deptford Mall, [in NJ], the other Glassboro. From left to right the protesters are: Julie Nolan, Leo Lucas, Carrie Johnson, Carol Marfisi, Stephanie Thomas, Diane Coleman, a man in a wheelchair, a very short woman or girl with her back to the camera, Mike Early, and behind him a woman with white hair and a very tall African American man stand against the bus. Signs read: Access Now!!, Access Not Excuses, We Will Ride, We Need to Get There Too!!, Stop Bush Attacks Against Disabled, No Transportation without Integration. This protest is in Philly and members of CORD and ADAPT joined forces before the Third US Circuit Court of Appeals court date.
