What was the resistance like to discriminatory housing practices? How much of it were people aware of?
The NAACP is mentioned a few times in the book:
What work did the NAACP do to combat housing discrimination, specifically in the 70s after? 
Were they in the public eye, or did they not get a lot of attention?
According to Rothstein, the de facto myth was perpetuated by a string of supreme court rulings starting in the 70s, and still continuing today.
Did the work that the NAACP did have an affect on how things are today? 
What specific things did they prevent from happening? 
Is housing discrimination something they are still working in today? 
At what time were they most active? Why? 
It seems like outright denial started showing up in the 70s, like the Milliken v Bradley case in 1974 that said perhaps it is unknowable why black people and white people lived in separate neighborhoods. Before there were laws saying something needed an explicit racial bias to be blocked, and people had to be more subtle than they had been. 
What effect did the Milliken v Bradley case have on civil rights activists, or the NAACP?
Was the NAACP generally liked or opposed by the public?

Housing discrimination is a civil rights issue that has, by most accounts, gotten worse since the civil rights era. In the late 60s, both the NAACP and the Chicago freedom movement were very active trying to create fair housing for African Americans. However, both groups never finished what they set out to do, and their efforts are often seen as failures. Despite their shortcomings, one of them was able to make more of a difference than the other.
Thesis:Activist groups like the NAACP that focused on creating legislation against discrimination had more of a long lasting and positive impact on fair housing than protest groups like the Chicago Freedom movement.

II Body paragraphs
a The civil rights movement often conjures up images of protesters lining the streets, lead by MLK or other activists leaders, but there is an entirely different side to protesting that is rarely in the limelight. For housing discrimination, that group was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NAACP.
This paragraph establishes the work that the NAACP did in the late 60s that lead to the fair housing act. It talks about their victories, their losses, and what effect those have had on the way things are now. It also includes what people thought of them or think of them now.
Sources/quotes:

b comparison of the two methods

c Despite the continuing pervasiveness of housing segregation today, the NAACP and the Chicago Freedom Movement did create change that positively impacted the housing movement.
This paragraph focuses on what the longer lasting impact of these two groups was, including some commentary or opinions from today. Also looks at how the fair housing act failed and why that was, and the disappointment caused from it.


III Conclusion
Not every movement is going to have success. It is important to consider these two halves of the movement as a group, not as rivals. Despite which of them had more effect, they both have their role in what happened]]> 2018-09-19 23:44:41 UTC https://padlet.com/efarley20211_1/u36ra2fr4r6l/wish/283679032 NAACP and LOBBYING jwolf70_1 https://padlet.com/efarley20211_1/u36ra2fr4r6l/wish/284003239 Source 9

•the NAACP was highly revered by most older African Americans in the South as a beacon of hope in abysmal racial darkness-so much so that several states in the region attempted to put the NAACP out of business.
•Another drawback of the NAACP's legal program was that the impact of Brown was not as immediate as that of the bus boycott. The NAACP toiled for fourteen years to get a civil rights law passed, and even then its effect was hardly momentous. 
•the NAACP, serving as a powerful legal instrument and political machine, that achieved the basic constitutional reforms that were required to accord full citizenship to African Americans.
•The sharp differences between the NAACP and the other civil rights leaders over the appropriate approach to attack housing segregation proved the wisdom of the NAACP
•Both the NAACP's humanitarian and constitutional philosophy and King's nonviolent methods were essential to achieving civil rights reform in the 1950s and 1960s]]> 2018-09-25 14:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/efarley20211_1/u36ra2fr4r6l/wish/285559319
