A graduate of the University of Michigan Law School in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Nelson Alston has devoted his entire legal career to the field of civil rights. As a young law student, Alston was drawn to the civil rights movement and to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He believed that the American dream could only be realized with solid gainful employment. The rights to public accommodations and the rights to equal housing have little value to individuals who cannot afford to go to a restaurants, who cannot afford to pay reasonable rents, or who cannot afford to buy homes. Believing that no one should be denied the right to achieve economic success because of employment discrimination, Alston has spent the past twenty-five years litigating cases under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Equal Pay Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. A former manager at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Alston has litigated over three hundred employment discrimination cases in U.S. District Courts in the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Colorado. Admitted to the Colorado Bar in 1992, Alston is in private practice of law representing individual claimants in employment discrimination cases. Alston is married and the father of three sons.
