"That $100 Million dollar Class Action Racial Discrimination Lawsuit that was filed by attorney Ben Hall (center), against (HCC) Houston Community College last year on Juneteenth (Friday, June 19, 2020) had a whole lot to do with the decision to pick Millard House (right) to serve as the Superintendent for the (HISD) Houston Independent School District on last Friday, in my opinion. Now, if I'm wrong, I will certainly apologize; but I don't believe I'm wrong on this one. Why? Well, remember back in 2018 when the Houston Independent School District Board of Education held a surprise vote and fired Dr. Grenita Lathan, the Black woman who was serving as the interim superintendent at the time? Remember how they fired her on a Thursday night, and then after backlash from Black leaders the Houston Independent School District Board of Education then turned around and re-hired Dr. Grenita Lathan on the following Monday? Do you remember that? Huh??? Do you remember? Well, who did the non-Blacks on the HISD School Board hire to replace Dr. Grenita Lathan when they fired her back in 2018? Do you remember? Well, they replaced Dr. Grenita Lathan with a Hispanic male. In case you don't recall, the non-Blacks on the HISD School Board voted to bring back former HISD Superintendent Abelardo "Abe" Saavedra according to a report that was published in the Houston Chronicle. So, it's clear that the school board's intent was to have a Hispanic male, or Latino woman heading up the HISD School District -- especially since the student body population is currently 61.84% Hispanic, 22.4% Black, and only 9.67% White. Why did the HISD School Board do an about face? Well, if you ask me, that $100 Million Dollar "RACIAL DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT" that was filed against HCC by attorney Ben Hall had a whole lot to do with it. In Ben's lawsuit, he detailed a long list of damning allegations about what he believes has been going on at Houston Community College under the leadership of Houston Community College Chancellor Cesar Maldonado and Janet May the Human Resources Director for Houston Community College. According to Ben's lawsuit, Cesar Maldonado accepted his position back in 2014 with a Hispanic “preferential treatment” agenda. The suit actually contained an email chain created shortly after Maldonado’s appointment stating “Now we [Hispanics] are going to receive preferential treatment.” The suit also alleges that since Maldonado’s arrival 90% of the long-time Black professionals at HCC have either been terminated or demoted, while there has been a 50% increase in Hispanic hires and promotions. Shockingly, the suit claims, while 90% of tenured and experienced Black employees have been displaced only 10% of similarly tenured Whites have been displaced. Ben's lawsuit also contained a disturbing list of tactics used by Maldonado and May to get rid of Blacks, such as telling a Black male that a white woman’s word was more truthful than his word; that if a White person complains believe them, but if a Black person complains doubt them unless corroborated; “padding” Black employee personnel files with false complaints to be used later as pretexts for firing them; if a Black person is accused of sexual harassment, believe the complainant—but if the complaint is made by a Black person corroborate; using the term “transformation” as a cover for getting rid of Black employees, and forcing Black employees to take leaves of absence without cause to later use as grounds to terminate the Black employee."

Attorney Ben Hall (far left) filed a $100 Million Dollar Racial Discrimination Class Action Suit against Houston Community College back on Friday, June 19, 2020. The lawsuit detailed a long list of damning allegations about what he believes has been going on at Houston Community College under the leadership of Houston Community College Chancellor Cesar Maldonado (far right) and Janet May (middle), the Human Resources Director for Houston Community College. Why is this relevant? Well, looking at what many are calling the unfair treatment of Dr. Grenita Lathan, the Black HISD Superintendent a few days ago, coupled with what appears to be the systematic skipping over of down-ballot local Black judicial candidates back on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, is a serious cause for concern – especially when racial tensions in America are at an all-time high.
Houston Community College Was Hit With a $100 Million Dollar Racial Discrimination Class Action Suit Last Year on Juneteenth
A $100 million dollar racial discrimination lawsuit was filed in a Houston, Texas state district court on behalf of hundreds of Black former and present employees of Houston Community College (“HCC”). The suit was filed back on Friday, June 19, 2020 – “Juneteenth — the anniversary date that Black slaves in Texas learned they had been freed from slavery two years earlier by President Abraham Lincoln. The lawsuit detailed a damning list of allegations about what was going on at Houston Community College under the leadership of Chancellor Cesar Maldonado and the Human Resources Director, Ms. Janet May. According to the lawsuit, Maldonado accepted his position in 2014 with a Hispanic “preferential treatment” agenda. The suit contains an actual email chain created shortly after Maldonado’s appointment stating “Now we [Hispanics] are going to receive preferential treatment.” The suit alleges that since Maldonado’s arrival 90% of the long-time Black professionals at HCC have either been terminated or demoted, while there has been a 50% increase in Hispanic hires and promotions. Shockingly, the suit claims, while 90% of tenured and experienced Black employees have been displaced only 10% of similarly tenured Whites have been displaced.
The lawsuit continues with a disturbing list of tactics used by Maldonado and May to get rid of Blacks, such as telling a Black male that a white woman’s word was more truthful than his word; that if a White person complains believe them, but if a Black person complains doubt them unless corroborated; “padding” Black employee personnel files with false complaints to be used later as pretexts for firing them; if a Black person is accused of sexual harassment, believe the complainant—but if the complaint is made by a Black person corroborate; using the term “transformation” as a cover for getting rid of Black employees, and forcing Black employees to take leaves of absence without cause to later use as grounds to terminate the Black employee. If these allegations are proven in court, HCC is in for a bad day at the courthouse.
The named plaintiff in the lawsuit is a 55-year old Black female, Zelia Brown, who was forced to take a leave of absence when she complained about missing grant money at the College. She reported to the federal government, the suit alleges, that the grant funds had been misused or taken. After the federal investigators notified HCC officials they were going to investigate Ms. Brown’s allegations, she was immediately told not to return to work and to stay on leave of absence. Her locked grant office is said to have been rummaged through while she was on a leave of absence. Although HCC is said to have later asked her back the return was conditioned on her accepting a false complaint that she had created a hostile work environment and presumably remain silent about the missing grant dollars. She refused to remain silent and brought the suit.
Ms. Brown is asking the court to approve a class action against HCC on behalf of all Black employees who have been terminated or demoted since Maldonado became chancellor in 2014. It is estimated the number of class members will be in the hundreds with each member seeking individual damages in the case. Ms. Brown is represented in the lawsuit by Benjamin L. Hall, III, the former Houston City Attorney under Mayor Bob Lanier and former mayoral candidate. Hall stated, “Ms. Brown is one of the more recent casualties of what appears to be a modern-day Jim Crow environment at Houston Community College for Black executives. She is a brave lady to stand up to power and speak the truth. We feel confident there are more victims of HCC’s discriminatory policies that will come forward to tell their stories as well.”
Houston Community College Caught Red-Handed Filing False Racial Data in Federal Racial Discrimination Suit According to Attorney Ben Hall
In a $100 million racial discrimination case pending in Houston, Texas, Houston Community College (“HCC”) has been caught red-handed filing false racial data with the court according to attorney Ben Hall. At the first hearing in the case, U.S. District Court Judge Lynn Hughes ordered HCC to produce employee data showing the number of Black, Hispanic and White hires, demotions, and changes of employment at the College during the last four (4) years. In response, court documents and our research show that HCC submitted (clearly) inaccurate and incomplete racial data with the court regarding the race of Black and other employees.
A review of HCC’s records shows clear errors about the race of multiple employees, and clear omissions of numerous Black employees. For example, HCC’s documents list one of the Black class member plaintiffs as being white when she is Black. When contacted, the Black employee confirmed she is Black and has never identified herself as white. Why HCC “changed” the race of this female is not explained in its filing. Another instance of mislabeling by HCC involves a Black male who is identified as “multiracial.” Such racial mislabeling is particularly troubling given that the Black male employee placed in writing his self-identification as a Black person when he worked at HCC. And, the errors do not stop there. HCC’s filing inexplicably omits the names of numerous Black employees who are in the suggested class of plaintiffs on whose behalf the lawsuit has been filed.
When asked about HCC’s filing, the Plaintiffs’ lead trial counsel, Benjamin Hall, stated “the data HCC has provided to the court is (obviously) false and questionable. It is inexcusable that HCC would present a federal judge with such (obviously) erroneous data. I look forward to hearing their explanations to justify what they filed. Judge Hughes does not tolerate parties making false statements in court.” HCC’s errors are particularly curious given that the suit alleges a pattern and practice of racial discrimination against more than 100 Black HCC employees. By omitting the names of many Black employees, and mislabelling others, HCC appears to be attempting to drive down or obscure the number of potential victims of the discriminatory practices alleged in the lawsuit.
Perhaps one of the most troubling aspects of HCC’s errors is it's mislabeling of a Black employee named Athos Brewer. Recently, community activist Quanel X held a press conference in front of HCC’s administrative building where he distributed copies of a report written by Brewer when Brewer worked directly under Chancellor Maldonado. Brewer’s multipage report repeatedly complains about Maldonado’s preference toward Hispanic hires and derogatory attitude toward Black employees. Brewer recounts a conversation he had with Maldonado during which Maldonado volunteered to Brewer that “we have to take care of our Hispanics” to which Brewer corrected Maldonado and stated he was not Hispanic. Maldonado then said, but your wife is Hispanic. After Brewer told Maldonado he was not Hispanic, Maldonado gave him his first negative job evaluation—an evaluation that Brewer corrected before the HCC Board of Trustees. Additionally, the Brewer document records Maldonado’s discriminatory demotion of a leading and well-respected Black female college president in favor of a Hispanic friend of the chancellor. Brewer details numerous other racially derogatory comments and actions by Maldonado toward Black people, including Maldonado commenting that HCC had lowered its standards by giving a particular award to a Black recipient. A copy of the Brewer memo distributed by Quanel X is attached.
In the filing of (obviously) inaccurate racial data with the court, HCC has opened itself up to even more racial scrutiny. Numerous questions are now appropriately asked: Why would the race of individuals be altered in HCC’s filing? Who is responsible for the erroneous mislabeling of the race of Black employees? What other errors are in the data? Why were known potential Black plaintiffs left off of HCC’s court filing? And, what is it going to take to verify any future racial data submitted by HCC? Put simply, HCC’s filing is a dubious way for it to begin its defense in a suit where it is already under a cloud of racial discrimination.
This case is getting more interesting by the day. We will be following the case closely. Stand by.
Attorney Ben Hall (left) has alleged in his $100 Million Dollar Discrimination Lawsuit that Dr. Cesar Maldonado came to Houston Community College with a "Hispanic Preference Agenda" which unfairly displaces quality Black employees. And now, some of the Plaintiffs in the various discrimination suits are starting to ask out loud whether HCC’s Board of Trustees, like the Penn State Board, were complicit in the College’s wrongdoing.
More Trouble for Houston Community College in Federal Discrimination Lawsuit Brought By Attorney Ben Hall
HBC NEWSPAPER REPORTS©
A racial discrimination lawsuit against Houston Community College working itself through federal court recently took a bad turn for the College. The lawsuit, filed by a former Black executive at HCC named Zelia Brown, alleges HCC systematically discriminates against Black employees and replaces them with less-qualified Hispanics. The suit alleges the chancellor of the College, Cesar Maldonado, a Hispanic, came to the College with a “Hispanic Preference Agenda” which unfairly displaces qualified Black employees. Brown alleges she was a victim of that discriminatory policy causing her to be constructively discharged from her job.
Brown also asked for her suit to be certified as a class action on behalf of other former and present Black HCC employees who have been victimized by HCC’s alleged discriminatory practices. In response, HCC’s lawyers filed motions asking the judge to deny the class certification and to dismiss the lawsuit entirely. The federal judge—widely known for dispatching unworthy lawsuits quickly— denied both of HCC’s motions and leaving the case active on the court’s docket.
The recent rulings dashed any hopes HCC may have had for a quick end to the embarrassing litigation. In addition to denying HCC’s motions, the judge also ordered the College to present four (4) HCC witnesses for deposition in the case. Plaintiffs had sought to take the depositions of Maldonado and human resources captains Janet May and Tom Anderson, but the judge denied that request for now. Plaintiff counsel Benjamin Hall said the first four HCC witness depositions will likely be of persons believed to have direct knowledge of facts alleged in the lawsuit.
HCC’s troubles did not stop there. After the judge denied a motion that would have added more plaintiffs to the Brown suit, nearly 100 more Black HCC employees filed a separate federal racial discrimination suit against HCC alleging they were also victimized by HCC’s discriminatory practices. A copy of the new suit can be found here:
Hall stated it is probable up to 50 more Black HCC employees will be filing discrimination suits against HCC soon. It was also disclosed that the same plaintiff lawyers suing HCC on behalf of Black employees have been asked to file suits against the College on behalf of Black students who complain they have been discriminated against by HCC’s “separate, but unequal” practice of underfunding campuses in predominately Black communities while pouring large sums of money and resources into building up campuses in majority Hispanic communities.
Some of the Plaintiffs in the various discrimination suits are starting to ask out loud whether HCC’s Board of Trustees, like the Penn State Board, were complicit in the College’s wrongdoing. They are questioning whether the individual trustees should be added to the lawsuits because of their knowing ratification of HCC’s racially discriminatory practices. If such suits materialize, the HCC trustees will have to explain how they allowed such discriminatory practices to continue for so long without corrective actions being taken, Hall said.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER
If we’re honest with ourselves, we all know that women are still fighting an uphill battle in politics as well as inside boardrooms across America. So, let's not forget – it wasn’t long ago that women were guaranteed the right to vote. In case you don’t know, the 19th Amendment granting women the right to vote was only the beginning of a much longer fight that women are continuing to fight on the campaign trail, in board rooms, and while living their everyday lives.
A VERY UNIQUE BOND
Each segment of our “SISTERHOOD SERIES” will highlight a “FEATURED SPONSOR” on the cover, and sixty-nine sitting incumbent Democratic and Republican members of the judiciary inside. So, as a community of women, each of the sixty-nine women featured as the “BODY OF THE SERIES” are linked together by their common successes in the rough and tumble world of Texas politics. Now, you can bet your bottom dollar, that some of these women will be endorsed by Houston Business Connections Newspaper©, in 2022 and 2024 “ELECTION GUIDES” when they appear on the ballot. However, unfortunately, some of these women will not make the cut. So, please do not forget that the deadline to run for political office in the “2022 MIDTERM ELECTIONS” is on Monday, December 13, 2021, in Texas. And, if you are a woman or man who is planning to run for office in 2022, you must sign up by Monday, December 13, 2021, at 6:00 pm. So, if you are not sure, what position you should run for in the Democratic Party Primary or Republican Party Primary, please call (281)788-3033, and I will try to assist you in any way I can.
MINISTERS OF JUSTICE
Every judge in America takes an oath of office and solemnly swears that they will administer justice without respect to persons and that they will do equal right to the poor and to the rich alike. So, the “MINISTERS OF JUSTICE” you see listed below, have all promised to faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent upon them under the United States Constitution and the laws that govern us as a free nation when they were elected. And each of them did so before the LORD God Almighty. Now, that being said, nowhere in their promise was their political party affiliation, sorority, socio-economic status, or ethnicity mentioned. So, let’s do our best going forward, to elect the “BEST AND BRIGHTEST” women and men who are committed to handing out even-handed justice to every person who enters their courtroom.

Nominating the Wrong Candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" Could Have Disastrous Consequences in the November 2022 General Election in Harris County
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Make no mistake about it, who the people of Harris County, Texas choose to give another term to in 2022 must be about substance, job performance, judicial temperament, competence, and whether or not our members of the judiciary are following the law with their rulings. And that being said, in 2022, it is incumbent upon the voters of Harris County to evaluate the job performance of each and every sitting "ELECTED OFFICIAL" on a case-by-case basis and not as a group based on their political party affiliation, ethnicity, or gender.
THINKING ABOUT RUNNING?
If you are a candidate planning to run for office in 2022, you have to select the right candidate to run against. And the second most important thing to understand is that you have to select your race early, to avoid ending up in a crowded field of candidates on "SUPER TUESDAY" in Harris County, Texas. So, if you need assistance trying to determine which race to enter, please call (281)788-3033, and I will do my very best to answer any questions you may have.
