I.           NATURE OF THE CLAIMS

              1.      The Plaintiffs bring this action to challenge a pattern and practice of race

      discrimination committed by BellSouth Corporation ("BellSouth," "Defendant" or "the

      Company") against current and former African American employees as defined below at

      paragraph 28.  The violations are systemic in nature, and constitute a pattern and practice of

      conduct that for many years has permeated, and continues to permeate, BellSouth's domestic

      operations.  The employment policies and practices of BellSouth have the effect and have been

      undertaken with the purpose of denying promotional opportunities and equal compensation to

      qualified African American employees in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 1981 ("Section 1981") and

      Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, ("Title VII") and

      Civil Rights Act of 1991, 42 U.S.C. § 1981a.  Plaintiffs Gladys Jenkins, Denise Levert, David
