Fisher, the appeals court said
the whites had not actually
been displaced from their jobs
but had suffered only some
disadvantages under a revised
seniority system imposed at

“While a black employe may
not usurp a white employe’s

she was told to go the mayor
of Augusta.
The mayor (Woodall) told
her to go ahead and organize
and to name her church, but to
give it no denomination since
there were already people who
did not want her as part of the
Baptist church. If anybody
asks about it, see him, the
mayor said.
So she named it Good
Shepherd and years later added
Baptist to the name.

about 600.
Later, a minister volunteered
to get her a license and a group

which she is president.
