A U.S. federal court of appeals panel has suspended a grant program by the Fearless Fund for Black women business owners, ruling in favor of a conservative group's lawsuit claiming the program is discriminatory. The ruling is part of a broader legal battle against corporate diversity programs, with the case being closely watched as a bellwether for how courts view programs aimed at addressing historical discrimination. The court ordered the grant contest to be suspended while the lawsuit is litigated in a federal court in Atlanta.
