The firefighter said the party, held at a private home in a wealthy section of the city, featured a display mocking Juneteenth, which celebrates the end of slavery in the 19th century, with the holiday’s flags displayed over buckets of fried chicken
Jones then saw a display mocking the Juneteenth holiday, which celebrates the end of slavery in the 19th century, with Juneteenth flags displayed over buckets of fried chicken.
The incident"cut me very deeply," Jones said at a news conference."I decided to speak up today because I have two children who maybe one day will aspire to become firefighters, and I don’t want them to experience what I experienced.” The notice of claim, which is a notice of intent to file a lawsuit, names the city of Rochester and the fire department. Jones will seek at least $3 million for emotional distress and at least $1 million in compensatory damages. Jones is currently on leave and fears retaliation, McMurray said.
