Two former employees of a Dallas-area law firm are suing after the firm threw a Juneteenth party with fried chicken and Big Red among other alleged racial discrimination.
The two black employees allege unlawful employment practices, racial discrimination and having to work in a racially hostile work environment at the firm of Eberstein & Witherite, which does business under the name 1800-CAR-WRECK. The suit was filed in a Dallas County court on Aug. 2.
The suit alleges the firm threw a Juneteenth party in 2012 by serving fried chicken and Big Red soda “to its handful of African American employees only.” The suit said the firm’s management team, made up of white employees, made the choice to celebrate the holiday with the selected menu.
