Rights of Minorities
American democracy was founded on a contradiction - that
all people where equal but that human slavery was tolerable. The subsequent
history of this nation has been in large measure the story - often violent,
sometimes heroic, and always traumatic - of its attempts to reconcile
its stated beliefs with its actual racial practices.
The ACLU works hard to insure equal rights to all minority groups in
such things as voting rights, immigrant rights, and police treatment.
The ACLU of Wisconsin maintains that a threat to any minority is a threat
to all minorities. Our history of advocating for the rights of racial
and ethnic minorities is as long as the history of our affiliate.
