Federal Court Orders Equal Treatment for Black Tourists

Tuesday, May 10, 2005

It is the only weekend each year when the majority of tourists in the City are African American and the only weekend each year when the City implements a restrictive traffic plan requiring all traffic to travel one-way for 60 blocks.
