San Francisco Examiner, Wednesday, September 30, 1987

PHOTO by Examiner's Katy Raddatz
Two uniformed officers lift a woman [Leslie Holden] in an ADAPT no-steps T-shirt from the ground. She is smiling and has her arm around one of their necks. They look like they are concentrating. A film cameraman is kneeling behind them.
Caption reads: Wheels of Justice
Police lift Leslie Holden into her wheelchair before taking her to the hall of Justice. Seventy-eight disabled protesters were arrested Tuesday after they used their wheelchairs and bodies to block the Powell Street turnaround for more than two hours. They hope this demonstration and others will force the American Public Transit Association to adopt a national policy on accessibility to public transit.
