The Supreme Court is considering a Texas woman’s lawsuit claiming that the United States Postal Service (USPS) engaged in racial discrimination when it stopped delivering her mail.

Konan, who described herself in a brief as a “respected black realtor, insurance agent, and landlady” in Euless, Texas, said that in 2020, postal employees allegedly “began a years-long campaign of racial harassment” against her. She claimed that the USPS failed to deliver mail to her or her tenants because its employees allegedly “did not ‘like the idea’ that a black person owned the properties and leased rooms to white people.”
