Other Litigation, 1962-1995, undated
- Scope and content:
This series contains correspondence, consent decrees, depositions, notices of rights to sue, and interrogatories related to other charges of racial discrimination involving the Shoney's chain of restaurants. These cases include Johnson v. Long, Joiner v. Shoney's, Grayer v. Shoney's, and EEOC v. TPI (Birmingham) Restaurants. These cases were significant because they provided Warren and his legal staff with valuable witnesses and other evidence to support allegations of ongoing discrimination. The cases also provided support for their argument regarding punitive damages.
