They say they only wanted justice. Now, one Gainesville couple says they have it.

  WCJB first broke the story of a Gainesville couple who says they were denied the use of a restroom that others were allowed to use, back in 2006.

  That couple says they were denied the use of those facilities because they are black.  A former WCJB reporter confronted the store manager, who said he kept out people who he thought would "mess up" the bathroom.

  The Mitchell family's attorney says discrimination happens more than you might think.  Michael Massey says, "It wasn't a surprise to me. most of my business is based on civil rights employee discrimination at work and in public places."

  A court awared the Mitchells 91-hundred dollars in attorney fees.  They are now looking to take their case to federal court, seeking compensation for emotional damages.
