About this case

Judicial Watch represents non-Black residents in a class-action lawsuit challenging Evanston's race-based eligibility requirements for its reparations program, alleging that the requirements violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. In March 2026, a federal judge denied the city's motion to dismiss, and the litigation is ongoing.
