ANDERSON V. BESSEMER CITY
470 U.S. 564 (1985)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was an appeal of a finding of discriminatory intent by a
District Court under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
FACTS: Anderson's (P) sued Bessemer City (D) for discrimination under Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. P alleged that she had been denied a position as Recreation
Director because of her sex. After a two-day trial, the court issued a memorandum of
decision setting forth its finding that P had been denied the position because of her sex
and that male members of D's hiring commission had been biased against P because she was a
woman. D appealed and the lower court's findings were reversed because they were clearly
erroneous. P appealed.
