And what if . . .?

What if a film crew asked permission to film on county property? And what if they were told permission would be granted only if they employed white people? "Why, that's illegal," people would shout.

John Wiley Price has demanded that Electric Sky Productions, a British film company, provide records on how many black people they employ before he will grant permission for them to film a documentary inside the county jails. Evidently, that's not illegal. What was that MLK said again? Something about not judging by the color of a man's skin?
