<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Spotlight On…<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span> <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Greetings fellow federationists! It
is Women’s history month!<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Below I will give you a historical tidbit
about the influential and inspiring Sojourner Truth. Following that, I
will include a poem I wrote that expands on the theme and then brings it back
to the original message with the final line. The poem is called “Black
And”.<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span> <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Sojourner Truth was born into slavery in
1797 in the state of New York. She was told she would be granted her
freedom on July 4, 1826. After her liberty was refused, she walked to
freedom and emancipated herself. Sojourner Truth delivered a now famous speech
at the 1851 Women’s Rights convention in Ohio. Truth’s purpose was to
persuade people that women, black or white, deserve to be treated equal to men
and thus have equal rights. Further, she posed a question rhetorically, aint I
a woman? This question served to point out the discrimination that is
experienced by being a black woman. Now, there is some debate as to whether
Sojourner actually spoke the words “aint I a woman” and so there are different
versions of the speech being argued. However, none of this takes away
from the overarching theme, which is… equality.<span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><span>Because I’m black…<span></span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I received an advocacy request. I do remember
thinking the last time I used the Metro that I could not hear the faregates and
I just thought I missed it, or that the particular one I was going through was
quiet. Apparently not. See below:<span></span></p>

<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> <span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Metro has started installing updated fare gates. Unlike
the previous systems, these are harder to hear when they open, and the only
reason I’m personally able to see if they’ve opened is that the screen flashes
green. These systems are not accessible though, because if you are not fast
enough, especially when walking with a guide dog, they will prematurely close
on you. I’ve gotten caught twice just this week alone. Can we somehow reach out
to Metro and bring this to their attention?<span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> <span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">*****<span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I want to point out also that if one cannot hear the
faregates in a crowded, noisy station, and it is not a station with which you
are familiar, it will be difficult to locate them in the first place. It is
also my understanding that:<span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">1. The fare machines currently beep if you have your fare
card facing the wrong way. That's another accessibility issue all on its own.
The older machines would activate regardless of how your card was facing, but
the point here is that the machine should emit some sort of audible tone to let
the individual know the gate has opened. The tone should be different from the
error tone.<span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"> <span></span></p>
<p class="gmail-MsoPlainText" style="margin:0in;font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">2. There needs to be a longer interval before the gate
closes. My guess is the motion censor is not detecting movement past a certain
height as the dog [guide] moves forward. I am further assuming the gate is
designed to close if it thinks no one is moving through to avoid piggy backing.
It needs to be fixed to allow passengers a moment longer to safely move through
the gate. This is not just a blindness issue or even just a service animal
issue. Older passengers could experience difficulty if they have to walk
slower.<span></span></p>
