Last summer, we aired a documentary about a civil rights case brought against a small Cajun dancehall in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, called La Poussiere. The Justice department sued the facility for allegedly failing to admit a black patron, Zee Scott, who happened to be a Justice Department lawyer. Scott also sued. This week, the Justice Department settled its case against La Poussiere, which admitted the discrimination. The Justice Department also announced settlement of another race discrimination case involving another Louisiana restaurant. Danny talks about the cases with Devall Patrick, who heads the Justice Department's Civil Rights division.
