Trump Supporters Force Blind black woman to sit in back of Georgia church

All other disabled churchgoers sat in the front row. Only the blind black woman, with a black dog, was forced to sit at the back of the church.

Churches are immune from discrimination laws so it's legal in Georgia

Trump Supporters Banish Blind Woman to Back Pew with Service Dog | wltx.com


COLLEGE PARK, GA. - The way Cynthia Coleman was treated at her new church made her feel like a leper, she said.

?They just left me no choice. It was like, 'either you move to that back pew or you leave their church,'? she recalled.

The problem is from that distance, she could not see the pastor. She was humiliated and felt highly discriminated against. And it?s because she had her service dog with her.

Coleman, 58, who is legally blind with no vision in her right eye and no peripheral vision in her left eye?said she was looking for a new church home when she found one about two miles from her home.
