Fayetteville Civil Rights Measure Vilified

Jacqueline Froelich

Christian conservatives swamped a Fayetteville city council meeting to protest a proposed civil rights ordinance that would ban discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations based on race, ethnicity, age, religion, and gender--as well as gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. As Jacqueline Froelich reports, it would be the first such ordinance on the books in Arkansas. 

Jacqueline Froelich is an investigative reporter and news producer for Ozarks at Large.
