A Delaware jury has awarded Kaligah Parker $1.28 million after finding his former employer, road contractor Greggo & Ferrara, liable for racial discrimination and a severe hostile work environment.

Parker, a Dover resident working as a laborer and machine operator, faced relentless abuse from coworkers who were reportedly jealous of his access to equipment training and higher-earning opportunities.

According to the lawsuit, the harassment included:

*Being addressed with racial slurs and “boy”

*Coworkers making whip-cracking gestures and throwing rocks at a portable toilet while he was inside

*Being singled out for menial chores like picking up gum wrappers while white peers left early

When Parker reported the abuse, a supervisor told him he needed “thicker skin” and that respect had to be earned.

Following a 5-day trial, the jury deliberated for just 3 hours to rule in Parker’s favor.

Despite the company expected to appeal, Parker’s story is one of ultimate resilience. After turning his life around and receiving a state pardon, he now dedicates his time to leading The Carry Their Light Project, a nonprofit focused on youth mentoring and violence prevention. taken in Dover, Delaware by @blackguideapp
