MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
J. Willie David, III, FCRA State President
Speaking Truth To Power Even
When It Is Unpopular To Do So

I have criticized, condemned and/or praised elected
officials, law enforcement, the media, pastors, public
figures, the rich and powerful regarding civil rights,
civil liberties and social justice issues.

Our mission at the Florida Civil Rights Association
(FCRA) is timeless and our struggles in communities of
color are endless. The steady climb to high ground for
people of color starts with you and me. We can no
longer allow the rich and powerful to use their positions
to scare us into silence.

accidents. However, when most civil rights attorneys
like Shayan Elahi with the Florida Civil Rights
Association are asked, they'll say, "It essentially takes
the burden off the prosecution and puts it on the
accused to prove he or she is innocent."  Read more
