Department of Justice Sues County in Georgia for Discrimination After Firing Black Employees

The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against Bartow County, Georgia alleging that the county violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it fired two Black men.

Prosecutors say the county subjected former employee Carlen Loyal to a racially hostile work environment and retaliated against former employee Bobby Turner before firing them both.

According to U.S. Attorney Buchanan, Loyal was employed at the county’s Road Department for almost 10 years and Turner, who is his brother-in-law, was also employed with the department for several years.
