Cecilia Rutherford joins a group of protesters outside Hurley Medical Center in Flint, Mich., after a nurse filed a complaint against the hospital claiming it had agreed to a man's request that no African-American nurses care for his newborn.

The nurse is now suing the hospital, claiming it bowed to his illegal demands. (AP Photo/The Flint Journal, Lauren Justice, File)
