When declaring your rights, don't forget your responsibilities. 
- H. Jackson Brown Jr.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has inspired many with his words. Today, as we close Black History Month 2020, we hope to inspire even more dreams with this rendition of his “I Have a Dream” speech in American Sign Language by #GallaudetU student JC Smith. The 1963 March on Washington and Dr. King’s speech led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and forever changed the course of United States history. Dr. King’s dream was racial justice and equality. At #GallaudetU, our dream is a world where where Deaf people are seen as whole and greatly valued for their global contributions, and where the #SigningEcosystem grows and thrives. Please watch this video and dream with us! #CelebratingBlackHistoryMonth

What Is Your Rights?
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.  
Everyone has basic rights under the U.S. Constitution and civil rights laws.  -ACLU

The Supreme Court ruled in 1969 that students do not "shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate." This is true for other fundamental rights, as well.

Learn more here about your right to be free from discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or national origin, and how the law protects you.

The legal landscape for LGBTQ people is constantly evolving. If you think you have been discriminated against and would like our assistance, please visit our Report LGBTQ and HIV Discrimination Page and we can help you figure out whether you are protected under federal or state laws.

The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest. However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights.

Sex discrimination occurs when a person is treated less favorably because of that person’s sex, which includes sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, pregnancy or pregnancy-related condition (including lactation), or a sex stereotype.

People with disabilities face widespread discrimination, segregation, and exclusion. But federal disability rights laws can provide protection.
