1. Was it against the law for Black slaves to run away from slave owners? Yes it was against the LAW

These are a few examples of LAWS that were in existence before civil right leaders, some lawmakers, and Human right activist went to court, in the thousands, demanding courts and lawmakers to find these types of laws UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

This applies to School Residency/Zip Code education laws!

Forcing parents and Guardians to send their children to unsafe and low performing schools is UNCONSTITUTIONAL because it DENIES children access to the appropriate educational tools and supports needed for them be able to become productive(tax paying) citizens in life and DENIES OUR children access to the tools for them to be able to engage in the civic process i.e voting (if a child doesn’t have access to effective reading instruction, how can they read the voting ballot)

The Connecticut Parent’s Union is in Federal Court NOW fighting these unconstitutional School residency/Zip code education laws!

Martin Luther King Jr. – “It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.”

Martin Luther King jr.”I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for the law”. — “Letter from Birmingham Jail,” April 16, 1963
