Abstract:
The case of Bazemore vs. Friday has not been settled after 18 years. The case is a discrimination suit filed by black employees of the NC Agricultural Extension Service over salary and promotion discrimination. The Supreme Court unanimously ruled in favor of the former employees, but a settlement has not been reached and the state is looking to appeal.
