SOLOMON v. MIAMI WOMAN'S CLUB

Civ. No. 72-701.

359 F.Supp. 41 (1973)

Jean SOLOMON and Ruby Rayford, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, Plaintiffs, v. The MIAMI WOMAN'S CLUB and the Florida Federation of Women's Clubs, Defendants.

United States District Court, S. D. Florida, Miami Division.

March 30, 1973.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Jon D. Caminez, Tallahassee, Fla., for plaintiffs.

L. S. Bonsteel of Smathers & Thompson, Miami, Fla., for The Miami Woman's Club.

Doris A. Dudney of Fowler, White, Gillen, Humkey, Kinney & Boggs, P. A., Tampa, Fla., for The Fla. Federation of Women's Clubs.

ROETTGER, District Judge.

This civil rights case presents the all-too familiar pattern of difficult cases made more difficult when both parties act as if the Holy Grail is a permanent possession in their own trophy case. Briefly stated, plaintiffs are black and contend their civil rights have been violated because the Miami Woman's Club would not admit them to membership and the Club insists it is a private organization.
