Civil rights complaint filed against the City of Kalamazoo and last updated 2021-01-28 22:38:54-05 KALAMAZOO, Mich. — A former Kalamazoo resident has filed a civil rights complaint alleging the city was specifically zoned so that a paper mill would be near primarily African American neighborhoods. The complaint was filed in late 2020 with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights by Brandi Crawford-Johnson, who moved to the area next to Graphic Packaging. The plant manufactures paperboard and paper-based packaging for products related to the food, beverage, household, personal care, and pet product industries. Crawford-Johnson is taking several different legal avenues against both the paper mill and the City of Kalamazoo. Previously, she filed a class-action lawsuit against Graphic Packaging. According to the lawsuit obtained by FOX 17, the strong odor emitting from the plant caused some residents to believe they have developed respiratory issues including asthma and COPD. O
