	Description:		In April 1977, a group of disabled activists occupied a government building in San Francisco for nearly a month. The protesters were demanding the signing of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, protecting disabled people from discrimination - it would be a breakthrough for the disability rights movement. Judith Heumann was one of the leaders of the sit-in. Image copyright: Disability Rights Education & Defense Fund
