SUCCESS STORIES
“I once attended a restaurant and was discriminated against in public. They called security on me, and I knew it was because of my skin color. I contacted the HRC, and I’m thankful that they walked me through what my options were. I was able to submit a complaint to the Police Department about the incident. Thank you HRC for listening and supporting me.”
