The Chicago Tribune reports that "Supreme Court rules in favor of blacks for Chicago firefighter jobs; Applicants did not wait too long to sue the city over a 1995 hiring test that they deemed discriminatory, court finds."

The Chicago Sun-Times contains articles headlined "Supreme Court ruling could force Chicago to hire bypassed black firefighter candidates" and "Man gets second chance to try to fulfill firefighter dream."

Warren Richey of The Christian Science Monitor reports that "Supreme Court rules for African-Americans in firefighter hiring case; Some 6,000 African-American applicants for jobs with the Chicago Fire Department can proceed with a discrimination lawsuit over the firefighter hiring test, the Supreme Court ruled Monday."
