Description: At Texaco, Bari-Ellen Roberts and 1400 other African Americans faced a persistent pattern of racial discrimination that wound up in a lawsuit -- and ultimately in a $176 million award, the largest in U.S history. This is the true story of how a giant corporation was challenged against all odds by one brave woman determined to stand her ground. Roberts reveals high-level deceptions, legal trickery, and astonishing twists of fate, including the notorious "Texaco tapes", which recorded senior executives making racially charged comments while they plotted the destruction of evidence related to the case. Spellbinding and eloquent, this is the broadest, most persuasive account of corporate racial discrimination ever written.
