After a migration in the early 1900's of African Americans from the south to the north, racial integration began to decrease and ethnic borders set in. Conditions were often poor, crime was prevalent and there was no economic stability. ]]> 2017-12-04 16:40:19 UTC https://padlet.com/19mckaigm/b4zd8w0gf78q/wish/212944828 19reyesd https://padlet.com/19mckaigm/b4zd8w0gf78q/wish/212946754 Racially Restrictive Covenant is a contract that restricts people of color from purchasing homes in white communities.

Warley case ruled that racial zoning is not legal. The Supreme Court of the United States addressed civil government instituted racial segregation in residential areas. But because this only applies to public properties, private properties can have legally bounding contracts based on race, and that is exactly what happened. ]]> 2017-12-04 16:45:32 UTC https://padlet.com/19mckaigm/b4zd8w0gf78q/wish/212947635 19reyesd https://padlet.com/19mckaigm/b4zd8w0gf78q/wish/212950865 The Supreme Court ruled against racially restrictive covenants  in 1948, and they were outlawed by the federal Fair Housing Act of 1968.

-The Shelley family was an African American family who purchased a house in St. Louis, Missouri  
-At the time the Shelley family wasn't aware that a restrictive covenant had been in place on the property 
-Louis Kraemer (who lived 10 blocks away) sued to prevent the Shelley family from gaining possession of the property  
-the court rejected the argument that since state courts would enforce a restrictive covenant  against white people, judicial enforcement of restrictive covenants wouldn't  violate the Equal Protection Clause  
-the court noted that the Fourteenth amendment guarantees individual rights]]> 2017-12-06 17:56:59 UTC https://padlet.com/19mckaigm/b4zd8w0gf78q/wish/213831185 19reyesd https://padlet.com/19mckaigm/b4zd8w0gf78q/wish/213840051 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelley_v._Kraemer
