Jury Verdict Shows Mobile Blocked Black Administrator from Leading White School
Earlier this year, a Mobile jury ruled that Mobile County Schools discriminated against a Black assistant principal in denying him a job at Theodore High School, a mostly white school. The jury awarded $128,573.39 in back pay and damages.
"The jury found he was being discriminated against because he was denied the principal(ship) of Theodore which is traditionally a mostly white school, and they put him over at an African American school," said Jon Goldfarb, attorney for the Plaintiff, William Henderson.
"They really got caught red-handed with this fake score sheet that they couldn't explain," said Goldfarb. "She tried to deny it, but we could show it came from the superintendent's office because it has the superintendent's stamp on it."
