Two white men launched a racist attack against a black mayor, Bart Littlejohn calling him the n-word during a city council meeting in Lawrence, Kansas.

The July 9 attack stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Michael Eravi, who alleged that it violated his rights when he was trespassed from a city-supported homeless camp in Lawrence, per Lawrence Journal-Word. Eravi requested Judge Julie Robinson to amend his lawsuit during the July 9 meeting.
