Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
& the Fair Housing Act
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we reaffirmed the values of equality, diversity, and tolerance that make this country great. We celebrate justice and the memory of all people who have striven for freedom and equality, especially those who participated in the historic Civil Rights Movement. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is also a day to reflect on the monumental accomplishments of that Movement, accomplishments that altered the fabric of American society forever.
Arguably the greatest feat of the Civil Rights Movement was the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1968 that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin—but what many people don’t know is that the Civil Rights Act is composed of several enforcement mechanisms that apply to almost every conceivable aspect of public life. One of these, the Fair Housing Act, is directed at the real estate industry.
