My former employer told me, at least twice, to not hire too many blacks and to not put them together at the worksites.  I was also told to not hire too many men and to not place them together too much.  My coworkers %26amp; I had to work overtime for years without OT compensation :  when I complained, I was threatened with termination.  I have been slapped in the head, objects thrown at me in anger, etc.  I've quit my job and filed  both state %26amp; federal complaints.   
  My former employer, when I turned in my resignation-notice, asked me how much they owed me in OT for the last 3.5 yrs. then shuttled some $ into my direct-deposit bank account.
 However, they just brushed me off and refused to do mediation in anything, even after I got an attorney.  The attorney says I have a strong case, but thinks the EEOC will not pursue the matter due to low funds for that.  If so, I would need $4,500 for the attorney, then he'll take the rest of his fees out of any $ awarded.  What org. will help?Is there an organization that helps with legal costs for civil rights cases?
