Superintendent wins
discrimination suit
CRISFIELD, Md. (AP) — When H.
DeWayne Whittington claimed he
was fired as school superintendent
because he is black, the jury did
more than just give him his good
name back.' It suggested the district
put that name on a school.
On Wednesday, the district did
just that, renaming Crisfield Prima
ry School the H. DeWayne Whitting
ton Primary School.
“It means more to the black com
munity than anything else,” said the
65-year-old educator, who also was
awarded $920,000 in his race-dis
crimination lawsuit.
Added his attorney Andrew Free
man: “Justice has been done and
righteousness prevailed.”
For many of the 350 people who
crowded into the school gymnasi
um, it was a fitting tribute on the
68th birthday of the Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr.
But to Whittington and many
school officials in Somerset Coun
ty, on Maryland’s rural Eastern
Shore, hard feelings prevailed.
No sign went up with Whittington’s
name. Instead, the school district
flashed an overhead projector with
the school’s name change on a piece
of stationery.
“I will forgive them," Whittington
said. “But I don’t think I willei
get what they did to me.”
