A 27-Year Police Promotion Discrimination Lawsuit Ends in Worcester

Posted on September 8, 2021 by curata

The officers, Andrew Harris and Spencer Tatum, sued the city in 1994, saying white officers were given promotions for positions in the department Harris and Tatum were qualified for. Tatum has retired, and Harris died before the suit was resolved.
