Description
Maryland Minority Contractors Association and others brought this action alleging discrimination against African Americans and Hispanic Americans in the administration of a federal program that provides funds for the construction of highways and mass transit facilities. The program is designed to support "the fullest possible participation of firms owned and controlled by minorities and women . . . in Department of Transportation programs." 49 C.F.R. § 23.1(a) (1997). The Plaintiffs primarily alleged that federal and Maryland state agencies and employees involved with the award and oversight of federal highway construction contracts in Maryland intentionally discriminated against businesses controlled by African Americans and Hispanic Americans in favor of those controlled by white women.
