William J. Barber II was escorted out of the theater for bringing his chair. William Barber II spoke at a press conference Friday after the Dec. 26 incident at the AMC Theater in Greenville, North Carolina, in which he said he was thrown out of the theater. He said he brought his chair to the movie theater to watch “The Color Purple” with his 90-year-old mother. “Our plans were disrupted when the managers of the AMC Theater here in Greenville decided to call the police rather than accommodate my visual disability,” Barber said. In this March 5, 2021 file photo, an AMC movie theater sign is shown in New York.
