WASHINGTON − For years, all Lebene Konan wanted was for the mail to come.
Konan sought the help of the government watchdog over the Postal Service, which ordered that mail be delivered to two houses she owns in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
She filed more than 50 administrative complaints and got written confirmation from local postal authorities that she should receive mail for herself and her tenants in the neighborhood’s “cluster box” of locked post office boxes assigned to homes.
When that didn’t work, Konan went to court in 2022 seeking compensation. She told the court she believes postal workers led a “two-year campaign of racial harassment” against her because she is Black and rents rooms to White people.
The Supreme Courtwill debate on Oct. 8 whether Konan should have the chance to prove that the Postal Service deliberately withheld her mail.
Something doesn’t add up here; it seems that something is being left out for this to make it to the Supreme Court.
