Patterson v. McLean Credit Union, 491 U.S. 164 (1989)
A Black female employee alleged racial discrimination in violation of section 1981 in that she was treated differently from white employees and not promoted, on the basis of race. The Court held that section 1981 was not available to address this problem since the case did not involve the making of a contract but rather its performance. Kennedy, J.
