Mary Harris, the former interim director of the Monroe County Library, did not show evidence she was fired because of her race, the court found.
An Alabama library board did not discriminate when it fired its Black interim director after she complained a library presentation celebrated Confederate Memorial Day, an appeals court ruled Wednesday.
At the event, which was organized by a library trustee and included a presentation on Confederate Army units based in Monroe County, Harris claimed an attendee called her “the N-word.” She also alleged the event was attended by more than 70 “known Ku Klux Klan affiliates,” and that she became uncomfortable.
“She has identified no statement that, if believed, shows ‘without inference or presumption’ that she was terminated because of her race,” the court ruled.
