Abstract

It is no hyperbole to say that the critical issues of human liberty in this country today are not issues of rights, but of remedies. The American citizen has had a right to a desegregated school since 1954 and to a desegregated jury since 1879, but schools and juries throughout vast areas of the country remain segregated. The American citizen has a right of free expression, but he may be arrested, jailed, fined under guise of bail and put to every risk and rancor of the criminal process if he expresses himself unpopularly. The "right" is there on paper; what is needed is the machinery to make the paper right a practical protection.
