Black and Blue: Everybody has a story

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.

Turns out that everybody does have a story, but they're not all the same, and they're not entirely negative. Our series "Black and Blue: personal stories from the intersection of police and public," will run daily through next week. We'll also gather all of the stories on our premium website and moderate a discussion there.
