and will be represented at a hearing by
Sprcnger & Lang at absolutely no cost'
to the individual filing the claim. Claims
must be filed no later than October 15x
1991.”
Sprenger said all legal fees and
expenses incurred by Sprenger & Lang
in representing those filing claims will
be paid by Northwest Airlines.
“ It is very significant that there is
no cap on the amount of money and job
relief for class members,” said Sprenger.
If just a fraction of the potential claim­
ants actually file claims and receive
awards at the same level as the 38 name
plaintiffs, approximately $20 million
will be awarded. Futhermore, if North­
west comes close to meeting its hiring
goals, another $14 million will go to
the class through jobs that would other­
wise have gone to non-blacks.
The class action suit that resulted
in this settlement was filed in m id-1989
and alleged Northwest’s hiring, pro­
motion and termination practices dis­
criminated against black job applicants
and employees nationwide.
In agreeing to a consent decree to
settle the case, Northwest expressly
denied any unlawful conduct, but said
the settlement is a fair and reasonable
resolution of the race discrimination
issues raised in the case and that it ends
what otherwise would have been pro­
tracted and expensive legal proceed­
ings.

Amos Allen looks to get away from Greg West at the Unity Basketball
Classic.
The week-long Unity Basketball
Classic ended Saturday with the Clip­
pers sponsored by Geneva’s Shear Per­
fection, coming away with the win over
the Las Vegas Runners, sponsored by
Brown and Hankins.
The basketball tournament took
place last week with the theme “ Unity,”
for Afro-Americans.
The action was hot and heavy with
the finest basketball talent .n the re­
gion, taking part. The games started at
6:(X)pm and 8:(X)pm every day ending
with a championship game on Satur­
day, August 24. Attendance for the
week-long event was 2,500. This out­
i
t
standing event was produced by Enter­
tainment and All. The commissioner of
the tournament is Byron Brown, presi­
dent of Entertainment and All. This
was the second year of the Unity Tour­
nament Basketball Classic, at Irving
Park basketball complex.
This year’s MVP was Tony Hamp­
ton, who led the Clippers to victory.
The week of fun ended with a
dance downtown at the Neighbors of
Woodcraft Hall, where Paul and Ge­
neva Knauls added another trophy to
their collection. Let’s give a special
thanks to Entertainment and All, and
those who made it happen.
