LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS– [Excerpt provided by Inclusion Daily Express] “They have information taken straight from the ADA website,” said Charles Lott because he said, the library violated those rights when they arrested a disabled man with a service dog at the library last week.
“We’re trying to show them that someone was harassed and his basic rights were denied,” said Lott.
On the library’s security footage we first showed you Wednesday, you can see Terry “Grizz” Hayhurst with his service dog, Nia, who is trained in balance assistance as Hayhurst suffers from a spinal cord injury.
Hayhurst said he was asked questions regarding his disability that were not allowed under ADA regulations.
Library officials said he was escorted out and later arrested for not cooperating.
The protest Sunday was to show solidarity for what activists said is an injustice.
