The book club that was kicked off of a wine train in Napa this past August has filed a discrimination lawsuit against The Napa Valley Wine Train. The club is seeking $11 million in damages.
The club, which is made up of mostly black women, was asked to leave the train after the staff deemed the women too rowdy. The book club members contend that they were victims of racism. The CEO apologized to the members after the incident and offered the group free passes. The women contend that they suffered as a result of the event. CBS San Francisco has more:
…the members of the Sistahs on the Reading Edge book club say they have had lasting professional and personal consequences from the Aug. 22 incident, including two of the women losing their jobs.
