American Airlines sued for removing Black passengers from flight
) was accused in a lawsuit on Wednesday of race discrimination for temporarily removing three Black men from a flight from Phoenix, Arizona, to New York City.
The men accused the airline of violating a Civil War-era law banning race discrimination in contracts. They are seeking unspecified damages for pain and suffering and punitive damages for"malicious, willful ... and reckless conduct." Susan Huhta, a lawyer for the three plaintiffs, said in a statement that the incident was part of a"disturbing history" of allegations that American discriminates against Black passengers.
Richardson said she was removed from a plane for allegedly harassing an attendant, and Harris said he was suspected of child trafficking while traveling with his biracial children. The airline apologized to Harris and said Richardson was booked on a different flight.
