Mr. Am I Being Detained@gonebabygone.bsky.social |
Today in 1977, disability activists in multiple cities began the 504 Sit-In, which would become the longest peaceful occupation of a federal building in US history. I had the great honor of interviewing the late Judith Heumann about it four years ago.

When I read about the sit-in I learned that one of the participants (his name escapes me and I feel terrible about it) was a Black Panther. They got involved and distributed meals to the participants and supported their protest the whole time.
