Racial Profiling, National Security, and Human Rights in the USA Chat
Day of Remembrance is a startling wake up call to the climate of racial intolerance in our post 9/11 United States. Books Not Bars, Struggling to Survive and The Sixth Section remind us that our democratic country is far from perfect - we still have serious issues with racism, classism and tolerance. Spring in Awe and Bush for Peace underscore the tenuous nature of our national security situation and the importance of sending a message of peace and reconciliation with the rest of the world. If you would like to share your views on these and other issues affecting the US, Amnesty International is providing you with an opportunity: Racial Profiling, National Security, and Human Rights in the USA Racial profiling is a serious human rights problem affecting millions of people in the USA, according to Amnesty International's latest report, Threat and Humiliation: Racial Profiling, National Security, and Human Rights in the United States. Join Ben Jealous, director of Amnesty International USA's Domestic Human Rights Program, for a chat about the report and its recommendations. This all day chat starts on September 21, 2004 at 10 am ET. Feel free to stop by anytime during the day to ask a question. You can submit your question in advance. See the transcripts of past chats.Published on September 17, 2004
