In the case reported by The Fresno Bee, a jury awarded more than $15 million to La-Kebbia "Kiki" Wilson, a Black city employee who endured years of racism and retaliation inside Fresno's code enforcement department. Her co-plaintiff, Charles Smith, was also awarded damages after supporting her claims.
