In the world of job hunting, rejection is as common as handwritten thank-you notes. But every so often, a rejection stings not because of a lack of qualifications, but because of an invisible wall of prejudice—one built from a name, a past, or a rumor.

Morris, Jr., noted, while there have been signs of "improving," she remains permanently disabled, unable to walk, eat, or shower independently.
