- Written by Sean Carroll, JD
Facts
Clifford McGlotten (plaintiff), an African American man, was denied membership in a local Elks lodge. McGlotten filed suit in federal court under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, claiming that he was denied membership solely based on his race. McGlotten sought an injunction, prohibiting the United States government from granting federal tax benefits to organizations that engaged in discrimination. Secretary of the Treasury John Connally (defendant) filed a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim.
