There was a press release Sunday, I think, about this.  It makes me so sad.  :'(  Even if there is a settlement or money is awarded, the damage has already been done.  Nothing can fix the injustices already suffered.  I hope at the very least, the case becomes an important example that separate is NOT equal.  Those who want to will use any excuse they can to deny equal rights.  Sadly, it may take many more stories of these situations for people to realize that their prejudices hurt peoples' lives.
