The U.S. Justice Department sued Mississippi Senate for discriminatory pay practices against a Black attorney.

The U.S. Justice Department has sued the Mississippi Senate, alleging discriminatory pay practices against former Black attorney Kristie Metcalfe. Employed from 2011 to 2019, Metcalfe was paid significantly less than her white colleagues, earning about half of their salaries despite similar responsibilities. The lawsuit seeks back pay, compensatory damages, and an order for the Senate to adopt policies against racial discrimination.
