Why does this army reservist want to be in a club that doesn't want him because they're a bunch of racists? Does he think it'll be fun to be in that club, especially after he's taken them to court?
But that's not what the court case is about. The case is over
some lodges in Georgia [seeking] to revoke the charter of one in Atlanta for admitting ... a[n] African-American

And the reservists hasn't taken the lodges to court. His lodge has taken to court some other lodges which objected to it having admitted the reservist.

Argh. Must read closer next time. Please do ignore my previous confused ramblings.

But uh, why do they need to go to court to revoke their "charter"? Isn't that an internal issue either for every specific lodge to decide upon, or for the central/national lodge, if there is such a thing?

The Atlanta lodge is going to court to pre-empt the "Masonic trial" that other members have managed to convene with the intention of possibly expelling them.

I wonder whether taking internal differences to the outside courts wouldn't be a violation of Masonic rules... Maybe JD can comment?
