Photo CP Photo: Three men (left to right - Lonnie Smith, Jerry Eubanks, and ET Ernest Taylor) in manual wheelchairs block a bus with a huge "SPECIAL" sign above the front window. About a dozen uniformed police officers stand on the sidewalk. One seems to be doing something to Lonnie's wheelchair. Inside the bus the driver is looking back talking to someone through the open door.
[Headline] Protestors Wheel Into Action
Three handicapped men block the path of a bus holding several other handicapped people arrested at the Sheraton Centre in Montreal on Sunday. Twenty people were sentenced to three days in jail after they blocked escalators and elevators to protest lack of access for wheelchairs. About 80 police were called in to clear the lobby.
