The ramp at Chicago was an example of how separate is not equal or how accommodations need to as equal / equivalent as possible. I will fully believe that every acceptor at the Hugos was told that there was a ramp. BUT, IT WAS IN THE BACK AND IT WAS OUT OF THE WAY, AND PEOPLE WOULD HAVE HAD TO DISAPPEAR FROM VIEW FOR MINUTES TO USE THE RAMP ON THE WAY TO ACCEPT A HUGO. And that is not to mention that the ramp was dark. Thus, I suspect that a lot of people who would have used the ramp if it was convenient and close to the stairs chose to use the stairs instead even if it was hard for them. Yes, the ramp was probably in the back to save room for more chairs. But, that isn't really a good reason. In hindsight, it should have been in the front.
