Activists hold peaceful rally at Seymour Post Office

Ansonia resident Ralph Villers, a.k.a. my husband, gets help from a postal employee outside the Seymour Post Office Wednesday. Ralph and I are members of the Center for Disability Rights in West Haven, and he took part in a demonstration with other members that was held to raise awareness of the inaccessibility of the building. 

The cornerstone says the Post Office building at 91 Main St., Seymour was erected in 1916.
