11/10/2007: "Possible whites-only bathroom creates outrage"

According to First Coast News, The Georgia-Pacific office building in the town of Brunswick recently fired an African-American employee after she went to the news media complaining that company officials only let white people use its restroom.

While working at the office, Lisa Woods told a TV news station that one of her co-workers did not like black people and suggested that races should not integrate. She also said the office's restroom was placed "out of order" for months -- even though she believes it worked fine.

The reason for the "out of order" sign, Woods believes, is to prevent African-Americans from using the toilet.
