NAACP official alleges an Amtrak conductor asked her to give up her seat on a train to accommodate someone else.
Social media users were perturbed by the incident and showed support for Ifill in numerous responses, some even comparing the incident to when civil rights icon Rosa Parks was told to move to the back of the bus in 1955.
Sherrilyn Ifill attends the NAACP LDF 33rd National Equal Justice Awards Dinner at Cipriani 42nd Street on Nov. 7, 2019 in New York.Ifill tweeted that the lack of contact was either"system failure or lack of effort." The Amtrak account then apologized to Ifill"As of today, we’re changing our policy about how we respond on social media to ensure we’re faster and more transparent," the account said.
But she also said that the long silence from the company suggested additional problems, as the company was publicly responding to other customer complaints on Twitter the evening before she heard from them.
