The Black Book: Know Your Rights

Civil Rights violations happen every day, but most go unreported. One way to protect yourself is to KNOW YOUR OWN RIGHTS and exercise them. Every person in the United States, including non-citizens, has guaranteed rights granted by the Constitution and other laws. These rights may be violated by government officials and others.

This Booklet is a resource. It will help anyone who carries it become familiar with their rights, to recognize when they are being violated, and to have the information they need to act and protect themselves.
