00:00:00.100 --> 00:00:04.100
FAY: So my consciousness really came...

2
00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:13.500
really developed, in the seventies, in terms of my identity as a person with a disability.

3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.500
True identity, I mean real identity.

4
00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:29.500
FAY: I remember one of those moments that Harilyn is talking about, I think, or referring to, was at the demonstration for the gasoline thing.

5
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:36.700
And we had been involved in this mad frenzy before that, getting everything together and getting the permits, right.

6
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:38.800
FAY: Making sure everything was going to...

7
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:46.700
getting as many people out there as we possibly could, and there was a lot of support among our community for it, and on and on and on.

8
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:48.600
FAY: I don't think I quite...

9
00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:59.400
I know that I didn't expect, when I got there and all the people were there, and there was chanting, and there were people...

10
00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:06.400
I never expected to feel the high that I felt at that moment. I had never felt that before in my whole life.

11
00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:15.100
FAY: It was such an incredible experience, it was almost addicting in a way, because it was...

12
00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:21.800
we've got to do this again, you know, I want to do this again. It was just incredible. It was wonderful.

13
00:01:22.300 --> 00:01:32.300
FAY: And I will always remember that as being the first time that I felt that kind of connection, and that kind of energy.
