Joseph Luciano feels forced to ride his wheelchair on the streets due to the inaccessibility of the sidewalks in the town where he lives.

He uses a wheelchair and has the use of just one arm and one leg, yet 74-year-old Joseph Luciano can play jazz piano, author online cookbooks and pen newspaper columns advocating for the rights of people with disabilities.
