When was the last time your blood boiled?
- Have you ever felt swamped by injustice?
- Have you ever felt overcome by inequity?
- Have you ever felt as if you have been a victim of the 21st century’s version of a lynching?
Herman Malone, an African American and a Denver businessman who has owned his own company for over 30 years, felt all of that and more after accusing Fortune 500 company Qwest Communications International with racial discrimination in business contracting.
No minority owned business had ever made such an accusation against a large company in America and have it heard in our Federal Court system.
And Malone found that federal courts, where Blacks, Hispanics, gays and women have always sought redress of violations of their civil rights, were stacked against minority businesses from the start, and inevitably favor big businesses which retain expensive lawyers.
“Lynched by Corporate America” is Malone’s story of fighting for those civil rights.
Pulling from knowledge gained from the demoralizing, humbling, and financially crippling RMES Communications Inc. vs. US West Inc., the legal battle provides the solutions, strategies and survival skills that Herman shares with audiences nationwide.
