Black College Students Not Admitted in Chicago Club
October 26th, 2009
When a group of more than 200 hundred graduating seniors from Washington University in St. Louis headed to Chicago a night of fun, they didn’t expect to file complaints with the Chicago Human Rights Commission, the Illinois Attorney General, or the U.S. Department of Justice when they returned.
At least six African-American students were denied entry into the Original Mother’s bar for what security personnel deemed as inappropriate dress.
