District Court, D. New Jersey November 13, 1981, Civ. A. 77-2054, 79-184 (United States v. State of New Jersey)

SAROKIN, District Judge.

This case involves a claim of discrimination based upon the failure of the City of Newark to appoint certain fire cadets to the position of firefighters. The resolution of this matter requires a journey through the historical resistance of the City of Newark to admit minorities into the fire department.
