Seventeen-year-old Marian Pannalossy cuts a striking figure wherever she goes in Archer’s Post, a small town 200 miles north of Nairobi. She lives alone and is light-skinned in a place where mixed-race people are a rarity and therefore ostracized. | |

Alexander Morris, 53, who is Black and joined the iconic vocal quartet in 2018, went to Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Warren on April 7, 2023, with “clear symptoms of cardiac distress.”
He had difficulty breathing and chest pain, and he was placed on oxygen, said the federal lawsuit, filed Monday in the Eastern District of Michigan.
However, when he informed a nurse and a security guard in the emergency room that he was a member of the Four Tops and had security concerns because of stalkers and fans, they didn't believe him, the suit says. Instead, a doctor ordered a psychological evaluation, and he was restrained for at least an hour and a half, it says.
The suit accuses the hospital and two staffers — a nurse and a security guard — of negligence, racial discrimination, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. | |
