Four Tops singer sues Michigan hospital for racial discrimination, says they didn't believe his identity

(CBS DETROIT) — The lead singer of Motown's legendary Four Tops has sued a Michigan hospital for racial discrimination, claiming that he was treated like he was mentally ill and restrained after he had told staff that he was in the group. 

Alexander Morris, 53, went to the Ascension Macomb-Oakland Hospital in Warren to receive medical treatment on April 7, 2023, to receive medical treatment, according to the lawsuit. 

The singer was taken to the emergency room by ambulance after he had difficulty breathing and chest and was put on oxygen. Morris has a history of cardiac disease, including stents and a defibrillator.
