R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul 505 U.S. 377 (1992) was a United States Supreme Court case involving hate speech and the free speech clause of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. A unanimous Court struck down St. Paul Minnesota’s Bias-Motivated Crime Ordinance and in doing so overturned the conviction of a teenager referred to in court documents only as R.A.V. for burning a cross on the lawn of an African American family.
