Every morning, Steeve Mackaya sets up shop on a corner in Chelsea with 3 stacks of newspapers, 2 milk crates and, rain or shine, a vibrant suit. When the photographer Moshe Katvan noticed this ever-so-stylish newspaper salesman in his wheelchair, he was mesmerized. “He was like a piece of New York street art, totally unbelievable and amazing,” Moshe said. “You won’t see it anywhere else in the world. I asked him what he wanted, if he wanted money. He said he wanted nothing. He just wanted to say his piece.” Here’s his story: Steve, 30, was disabled by polio as a child growing up in Gabon, on the west coast of Africa. He moved to the U.S. in 2013 as part of a @unitednations youth delegation to advocate the rights of disabled people. While Steve was seeking asylum, without success, he was living in a homeless shelter uptown and selling newspapers in Chelsea, hoping his suits — which he keeps at a friend’s place — would signal the dignity and resourcefulness of people with disabilities.
