Four Tops Singer Sues A Michigan Hospital For Racial Discrimination

hospital on Monday, alleging that staff racially discriminated against him, physically restrained him for over an hour and denied him proper health care.

Not long after he was checked in, an emergency room doctor ordered that Morris stop receiving oxygen, had him placed in a restraining jacket and requested a psychological evaluation of him. When Morris asked if he could show his ID to prove his identity, the lawsuit claims a security guard told him to “sit his Black ass down.”

He “received a deliberate misdiagnosis and received a lower standard of medical care based on his race that amounted to racial discrimination and delayed his actual diagnosis,” reads the lawsuit, which notes that Morris “was ultimately diagnosed with a heart infraction that may require a heart transplant, pneumonia, and he suffered three seizures during his stay.”
