feb 9, 1978 - Disability rights activists in Denver held a sit-in demonstration to protest inaccessibility of Denver’s public transit system. The demonstration blocked many Denver busses that day. The Denver Transit Authority (bus system) was forced to purchase busses with wheelchair lifts so that people with physical disabilities could access the busses.
