TATE, Circuit Judge:
The plaintiffs appeal the dismissal of their suit for failure to follow orders of the court and want of prosecution, Fed.R.Civ.P. 41(b), and also complain of the denial of class certification. They sue their former employer (“Faulkner”) on their own behalf and on behalf of past, present, and future black employees, alleging racially discriminatory employment practices. The relief sought is based both on section 1 of the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. § 1981 (the “section 1981” claim) and also on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e et seq.…
