Ben Crump Retained to Represent Ednitta Wright in Hampton Inn Discrimination Case

*Williamston, N.C. – Nationally renowned civil rights and personal injury attorney Ben Crump has been retained to represent Ednitta Wright, who was subjected to police interrogation for using a Hampton Inn pool with her children on June 28, although she was a guest at the hotel.

Attorney Crump issued the following statement about the case:

“It is outrageous that a Black mother and her children who are paying guests at a hotel are subjected to police questioning and forced to justify their right to use the pool. For a hotel employee to demand to see proof of being a guest only from the Black person and not the White people using the pool is blatant discrimination. And to call the police even after she presented proof she was a guest is clear harassment. We have reason to believe that this is not an isolated incident of discrimination and harassment but a pattern on the part of the hotel. We will seek justice for Ms. Wright and a change in the practices of this hotel toward Black Americans.”
