A Former County Worker Alleges Racial Discrimination
A former Sedgwick County employee alleges his coworkers racially discriminated against him by referring to him as “boy” or the “colored guy,” according to a lawsuit. David Partridge, whom court documents describe as a biracial Black man, sued Sedgwick County commissioners in October 2021. Partridge worked as a bridge crewman for the county from December 2019 to August 2021. He said he experienced a “racially hostile work environment,” according to the lawsuit.
