Court Orders Chicago To Hire 111 Black Firefighters (NPR)

A court ruled Friday that the City of Chicago must hire 111 African American
firefighters and pay damages to thousands who were denied jobs. The legal
battle started after applicants took a 1995 employment exam to become
firefighters. The plaintiffs claim the test did not measure the ability to be
a firefighter and made it more likely that whites would be hired. Host Michel
Martin discusses the case with _Chicago Sun-Times_ columnist Mary Mitchell.
