Equal Opportunity was created by the Fair Housing Act of 1968 which sought to end discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, color, religion, and national origin.  
In 1974 sex was added as a protected basis.  ]]> 2022-05-18 18:22:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadasivam271/Bookmarks/wish/2189987432 tjames272 https://padlet.com/jsadasivam271/Bookmarks/wish/2191549173 In 1945, an African American family named the Shelley's moved into the neighborhood. Louis Kraemer brought suit to enforce the covenant and prevent the Shelley's from moving into their house. A similar lawsuit arose in Detroit, Michigan. Both state supreme courts enforced the covenants because they were private instead of state action. The Supreme Court  the cases on appeal. So then, the enforcements of the racially restrictive covenants in state court violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.]]> 2022-05-19 15:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadasivam271/Bookmarks/wish/2191549173 grantdino271 https://padlet.com/jsadasivam271/Bookmarks/wish/2192078401 The term has come to mean racial discrimination of any kind in housing, but it comes from government maps that outlined areas where Black residents lived and were dangerous. All of this contributed to the racial segregation that shaped America. They used color-coded maps ranking the dangers and worth of neighborhoods in more than 200 cities and towns across the United States. Neighborhoods were ranked from least risky to most risky — or from A through D.  Most of the “D” areas were neighborhoods where Black residents lived. And in 1968 the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which prohibited housing discrimination was formed.]]> 2022-05-19 23:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadasivam271/Bookmarks/wish/2192078401 tjames272 https://padlet.com/jsadasivam271/Bookmarks/wish/2193001094 The GI bill really helped out millions of veterans. The GI bill unfortunetly left out black veterans. Research shows there are all sorts of positive outcomes associated with households owning assets. There are lots of reasons that whites have so much more wealth than nonwhites. How the GI Bill played out is one of those reasons. Whites were able to use the government guaranteed housing loans that were a pillar of the bill to buy homes in the fast growing suburbs. Those homes subsequently rose greatly in value in coming decades, creating vast new household wealth for whites during the postwar era. ]]> 2022-05-20 13:27:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jsadasivam271/Bookmarks/wish/2193001094
