The ACLU went to court to help Rubbie McCoy and other Detroit area homeowners fight for justice. We're suing Morgan Stanley, the Wall Street investment firm, for discriminating against black homeowners and violating federal civil rights laws by providing strong incentives to a subprime lender to originate mortgages that were likely to be foreclosed on. 

It is the first lawsuit linking Wall Street firms bundling of unjustifiable high-risk mortgages to racial discrimination. And it is the first in which affected homeowners are directly suing an investment bank rather than the subprime lenders who preyed on communities in order to feed Wall Street's thirst for risky mortgages.
