AMC to fire 3 workers for alleged racial profiling of black women at 'Harriet' screening.
Three theater employees, including a kitchen worker, repeatedly interrupted the screening to ask members of the group to verify their tickets and seating assignments, the letter said. At one point, one employee stopped the film and turned the lights on, causing other people at the screening to get upset and ask that the 504 Queens leave, WDSU reported.
Another member of the group told Nola.com that one theater worker started yelling when she came to check their tickets. 504 Queens also asked that AMC give free"Harriet" tickets to all public and private high school students in Orleans and Jefferson parishes, donate movie passes to the group's 200 members so they can"take young girls in their mentor program to movies next year" and donate sales from Black Friday to the group. 504 Queens said the donated money would be used to provide meals during the holidays for people in need.
