The Southern Poverty Law Center has gathered hundreds of stories of everyday bigotry from people across the United States. These stories were shared through e-mail, personal interviews and at roundtable discussions in four cities. People spoke about encounters in stores and restaurants, on streets and in schools. No matter the location or relationship, the stories echo each other. Along with each story of everyday bigotry, the Southern Poverty Law Center provides tips on how to effectively respond and change the present.
