Profiles in Injustice: Racial Profiling Before and After 9/11
The ACLU's Campaign Against Racial Profiling, along with New Press, are sponsoring a book tour featuring Profiles in Injustice: Why Racial Profiling Cannot Work, by David Harris, Prof. of Law at the University of Toledo and author of the ACLU's 1999 "Driving While Black" report.
The tour's goal is to continue the success nationwide at raising awareness of racial profiling. Racial profiling has become a household word and a majority of the people in this country believe it exists, and that it's wrong.
Events will vary by city, but will include panels, community meetings and interviews.
A major focus on the tour will be post-9/11 racial, ethnic, religious profiling of Arabs, Muslims and South Asians, groups who have not traditionally been seen as victims of racial profiling. By showing the clear connection between the "old" and "new" racial profiling, it is our hope that an end can be brought to this discriminatory practice that doesn't work.
