The recent case that was appeal was the one about firefighters who were denied promotions due to the color of their skin. They eventually won this case in the Supreme Court of the United States.

A second example was when a girl was strip searched for drugs without proper reason. The girl and her family won the appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, the highest court possible.


Note: The firefighters were not denied promotions based on skin color or ethnicity. For more information on Ricci v. DeStefano, (2009), see Related Questions, below.
