On information and belief, Defendant rejected the home loan applications of many dozens of African-American applicants because of their race or color, and/or because of the racial composition of the neighborhoods in which their properties were located. (d) Plaintiffs will fairly and adequately protect the interests of all class members, as they are members of the class and their claims are typical of the claims of all class members. Plaintiffs are incensed by the treatment they have received and will aggressively pursue their as well as the class's interests. Plaintiffs' interests in obtaining injunctive relief and monetary damages for the violations of the above-mentioned federal statutes are consistent with and not antagonistic to those of any person within the class. (e) The common questions of law and fact include: (i) whether Defendant had a policy, practice or procedure to reject home loan applications on the basis of the applicants' race or on the basis of the racial composition of the neighborhoods in which their properties were located; (ii) whether the conduct alleged herein is in violation of Title 42 U.S.C.
