TELL YOUR STORY

What does "civil rights" mean to you? Do those words resonate? What do they make you think of? How would you define them?

Have your civil rights been violated? What happened? Did you complain or take your case to court? What happened?

What has been your experience with the courts? Have you ever been to court to defend or protect your civil rights? Known anyone who has? What happened?

Do you think the law is on your side? Do you think you'd get a fair deal by a judge or in a courtroom if you ever had to go to court to protect your rights? Why or why not?

Do you think people deserve a "day in court"?
