Henrietta Squires listens to members of the group ADAPT (American Disabled for Attendant Programs Today) negotiate with Ann Arbor Police officers and Borders Group executives Friday afternoon in front of the Borders Group headquarters doorway on Maynard Street. The protest was over House Speaker Newt Gingrich's failure to introduce legislation on the Community Attendant Services Act, which would provide services for people with disabilities. Gingrich's book 'To Renew America' is on sale at Borders, and activists asked passersby not to buy it.
