1Opinion of the Court
MARCUS, Circuit Judge:
This appeal arises from a Title VII claim brought by African-American civil engineer Geneva Brown against her employer, the Alabama Department of Transportation (“the Department”). 1 Brown claimed that the Department denied her nine separate promotions on account of her race, or for retaliatory reasons, between 2000 and 2005. Following a five-day trial, a jury sitting in the Northern District of Alabama entered a verdict in Brown’s favor as to her claims of discrimination and retaliation, and awarded her backpay on the basis of each of the nine challenged promotions.
