A civil right is an enforceable right or privilege, which if interfered with by another gives rise to an action for injury. Examples of civil rights are freedom of speech, press, and assembly; the right to vote; freedom from involuntary servitude; and the right to equality in public places. Discrimination occurs when the civil rights of an individual are denied or interfered with because of their membership in a particular group or class. Statutes have been enacted to prevent discrimination based on race, sex, religion, age, previous condition of servitude, physical limitation, national origin, and in some instances sexual preference. Civil rights attorneys handle cases involving the rights of individuals to be free from unequal treatment (or discrimination) based on legally-protected characteristics such as race, gender, disability, national origin, age, sexual orientation, and religion. Civil rights cases can arise in a number of settings -- including employment, housing, lending, and education.
White Horse Beach is a village of Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. It consists of public beach in the Manomet section of Plymouth and is located on Cape Cod Bay, south of Priscilla Beach and north of Manomet Point. At the north end of the beach is a rock sticking out of the water with an American flag painted on. This act of patriotism was performed to cover a Nazi swastika painted on the rock, so it is said by locals. Much of the southern end of the beach, which is also known as Taylor Avenue Beach, beyond the outflow of Bartlett Pond, either has cottages on it or is fenced off to protect the dunes and fragile plant life. There is a small business district just beyond the north end of the beach. It has a general store and a Post Office. Its ZIP code is 02381. Residents and businesses in this village that are non-Post Office box holders use Plymouth's ZIP code of 02360. Further inland are St. Catherine's Church and White Horse Cemetery, located behind the Second Church of Plymouth at Manomet Four Corners, which dates back to the early 1700s.
