If so, you have been the victim of racial profiling and your rights have been violated. Do you feel that you have been passed over for a job or fired purely on the basis of race? Again, your rights have been violated. Don't let such offenses go unchallenged.

While civil rights for African-Americans have come a long way over the years, there is still much work to be done.
