[Blindtlk] Making a Difference, (Cont.): Bringing the right attitude out

[Cindy Ray]

There have been times when a blind person has stood on a bus because of standing room only and drivers shouted for someone to give the blind person a seat; and I think there have been times when the bus wouldn’t go until someone complied. Not sure what that has to do with telling the woman to give up the seat by the door though.
