Originally aired on April 7th, 1993, Race for the Times discusses the historic Denny's Restaurant Chain Lawsuit. This lawsuit was settled for $54.4 Million dollars. Our guests are Yendis Thomas, and Mayleen Harrison named plaintiffs in this case; and Tony Lawson and Laren L. Clay Attorneys. After the settlement of this historic lawsuit, Denny's hired an African American marketing firm to change their image. The onset of many commercials featuring familiar black faces surfaced, including: Sherman Hemsley and Isabel Sanford; know for their roles as George and Louise Jefferson on the Jeffersons. What is the black experience at restaurants like today?
