Aireal Bonner faced discrimination at Southern Kitchen & Bar in Birmingham, claiming she was ousted for her Afro-centric appearance, despite the restaurant citing a dress code violation. Bonner, in a Facebook post, stated she just wanted to dine comfortably. The restaurant apologized, acknowledging the discomfort caused and pledged to enhance policy implementation. However, Bonner rejected the apology, urging negative reviews, leading to the restaurant’s Yelp page removal. Alabama Rally Against Injustice plans a sit-in protest, alleging selective dress code enforcement. Bonner’s ousting, captured in a video, reveals the manager’s refusal to show the dress code, citing private business status. Bonner, asked to cover her crocheted top, was threatened with police intervention if she didn’t leave.
