Outcome

The Sixth Circuit affirmed the district court's judgment in favor of Ford Motor Company, finding that while the EEOC established a prima facie case of racial discrimination in denying promotion to Black employee Harris, Ford presented legitimate non-discriminatory reasons for promoting a white candidate, and the EEOC failed to prove pretext.
