A2: Discrimination

The Detroit News reports that a federal appeals court ruled today that a black couple unable to book their wedding reception at the Kensington Court Hotel in Ann Arbor can move ahead with their racial discrimination lawsuit. A statement from the court said, “The plaintiffs made numerous attempts to enter into a contract with the hotel to host their wedding reception. It is possible to construe the hotel’s complete failure to consummate this transaction as ‘contrary to (its) financial interests’ and ‘outside of widely accepted business norms.’ ” [Source]
