It's axiomatic among African-Americans: "everybody has a story" about harassment by the police. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution set out to test that idea. We interviewed dozens of people. There's nothing scientific about the selection, but there is something compelling about the stories.

We'll also gather all of the stories on our premium website and moderate a discussion there.
