The Phoenix Gazette Tuesday, April 7, 1987 Metro Section
PHOTO by Rick Giase, The Phoenix Gazette: A man (Rev. Calvin Peterson) is being tipped backwards in his motorized wheelchair by two plainclothes police officers. Peterson has his arm raised in a power fist and is looking off to the side with an angry expression. One of the officers, with dark shades on, is smirking slightly. Beside Peterson another man (Rev. Willie Smith) is standing apparently trying to talk to the officers.
Caption reads: Wheelchair protest nets five arrests
Two Police officers try to wheel away the Rev. Calvin Peterson as another member of ADAPT (right) appeals to them Monday during a protest outside a downtown hotel. Peterson was not arrested, but five others were held on disorderly conduct charges as they attempted to disrupt an American Public Transit Association meeting. (Story: B-8)
