Civil rights attorneys have sued the city of LaGrange, Georgia, alleging discriminatory practices that deprive the homes of African-Americans and Latinos to basic utility services.

The Southern Center for Human Rights, the National Immigration Law Center and Relman, Dane & Colfax filed the complaint Thursday in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia on behalf of the Georgia State and Troup County chapters of the NAACP, Project South and individual residents of LaGrange.
