Description: When communications giant US West (now Qwest Communications International inc.) began systematically canceling contracts with African-American-owned businesses, the National Black Chamber of Commerce, chaired by Herman Malone, decided to fight back. Faced with a race-discrimination lawsuit, US West eventually settled with six out of seven plaintiffs. Malone, the sole holdout, sought justice in the courts. This is one man's story of standing up against the sytem and demanding justice.
