[image] (from unidentified newspaper): A man in a motorized wheelchair [Rick James] carries the ADAPT flag on the back of his chair. Someone is holding it out so the stripes form a backdrop behind him. He is bald and has a full white and gray beard, and a leather pouch hanging in front of his ADAPT T-shirt. His hands are somewhat constricted but he holds the joystick on his left one. He is looking sternly off to one side. Off to his left are more ADAPTers. A man in a wheelchair [Reuben Fernandez] is speaking with another man beside him. Across Reuben's knees is a poster that reads Nursing Homes = Prison. Behind Reuben is another man [Reuben Montoya] and behind him is a woman in a red hat and ADAPT shirt. The sky is cloudy and blue. In the very corner of the photo you can see the distinctive cement design of the Health and Human Services Dept. headquarters, and two flags.
