As lawyers and advocates who are accountable to the intergenerational Black freedom struggle, the Center for Constitutional Rights has for Black people to reject the inhumanity of human hierarchy, express love-fueled fury, and demand fundamental change. The state and its institutions, viewing Black freedom as a threat to the status quo of white supremacy, have used violence, incarceration, surveillance, and systemic abandonment in an attempt to suppress Black rage and any alternative vision of a world repaired.
