White developer sues Baltimore mayor, city council claiming he was fired because of his race
Andrew C. Freeman, a White male developer, filed a lawsuit against Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott, the city council, and East Baltimore Development Inc. (EBDI), alleging he was fired due to his race shortly after a promotion in 2024. Freeman claims the termination came under pressure from the mayor's office after he replaced a Black woman in the role, contradicting the organization's stated performance-based justification. The lawsuit argues the decision reflects broader city policies that favor certain racial minorities and women under diversity initiatives, disadvantaging others based on race.
