Pan American settles Ella Fitzgerald race suits for 7000
Pan American World Airways says it reached out of court settlements in four discrimination suits brought by Ella Fitzgerald and three staff members. The plaintiffs sought 270000, with observers noting a 7000 settlement. The airline denied discrimination, citing clerical error and noting the singer and party booked first class from San Francisco to Australia and were not readmitted after a Honolulu stop. The complainants include pianist John Lewis secretary Georgiana Henry and manager Norman Grant.
