Crips in back of theater: racial analogy called 'ridiculous'
DENVER, Aug.4, 2002 --Activist Laura Hershey and others protested in front of Denver's Mayan theater on Saturday after learning Friday night that the theater no longer had wheelchair seating anywhere except in the back row, after renovations had removed the previous seating mid-theater. "This is discrimination," Hershey says she told manager Sasha Webb, explaining that, "It is the same as if you posted a sign saying that black people had to sit in the back row of the theater."
