Thirsty-six years ago, President Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act into law. On that day, the president thanked the biggest stakeholders, those who were perhaps the loudest in advocating for the bill: the tens of millions of Americans with disabilities. It took decades of activism to make that moment possible, including a lesser-known protest in 1978 at a busy intersection in downtown Denver when a group of people with disabilities surrounded and barricaded two city buses for roughly 24 hours.

What an honor to report this long-form story with Joe Shapiro. Also huge thanks to producer Benjamin Rappaport and editor Jennifer Schmidt for your thoughtful work and support on this episode of NPR’s The Sunday Story! Find it wherever you listen. by @stephrwolf

Very much looking forward to returning to Berlin in a few weeks thanks to @riaskommission. This photo is from my first RIAS experience in 2017, taken at the SPD watch party on the night of the federal elections. I’ve met so many wonderful journalists through RIAS, and I’m excited to share this next experience with more alumni.

Berlin friends, get in touch! I’d love to catch up. taken in Berlin, Deutschland by @stephrwolf

On the day after the Fourth of July in 1978, a group of young disabled people blocked two city buses at one of the busiest intersections in downtown Denver – to declare their right to live independently.

The Gang of 19, as they’d be called, demanded that the city install wheelchair lifts on more than 200 newly-ordered buses, so they could ride public transit. The protest lasted some 24 hours. At night, some of the protesters got out of their wheelchairs and slept on the hard asphalt.

Full story up now at npr.org. Thanks to Joe Shapiro for your collaboration on this. taken in Downtown Denver by @stephrwolf

A career highlight: getting to share the story of The Gang of 19 and their demands for accessible transit with a national audience, and reporting and producing it with NPR’s Joseph Shapiro. Catch it on All Things Considered on March 19, 2026. taken in Denver, Colorado by @stephrwolf

RTD has renamed a busy downtown bus terminal after the late disability rights leader Rev. Wade Blank. There’s been some controversy around the timing of it — months after raising the base fare on RTD’s on-demand paratransit service — but new signage went up recently. taken in Downtown Denver by @stephrwolf
