Protesters walk (and ride in wheelchairs and scooters) from City Hall Park heading to the offices of the Human Rights Commission on March 13, 2003.
A woman in a dark brown leather jacket sitting in a wheelchair in the lobby of the Human Rights Commission looks to her left (our right) and holds a blue and white plastic cup full of coffee in her left hand while holding a sign in her right hand that reads ACCESS-A-RIDE IS A THIRD MODE OF MASS TRANSIT. IT’S OUR CIVIL RIGHT! DISABLED IN ACTION. Her right hand covers the word ACCESS on the sign.

GATLING COMMISSIONER with the New York City government logo traced in white underneath the words. At the front door is Michael Imperiale in a white parka sitting in his wheelchair and looking in the office.
