HolLynn DLil was an activist in the Section 504 Demonstration. She decided to write a memoir about her experience as a participant in the Disability Rights Movement, specifically in the sit-in in San Francisco in 1977. The sit-in, as talked about above, was two weeks long in order to get Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act passed. They were fighting for Section 504, as it would be the only law protecting individuals with disabilities and their civil rights. Her memoir moves through all 24 days of the sit-in, one day of a time, with photographs, and details from each day. Her memoir is important, as it is an activist in the disabilities movement having autonomy and displaying her first person narrative of her experience of the sit in.
