Sustaining the Fair Housing Act

John Yinger, Syracuse University


Abstract

In the spring of 1968, the U.S. Government made a momentous and inspiring contribution to human rights: It passed the Fair Housing Act. This act recognizes that the right to choose a place to live, within one's means, is among the most fundamental human rights and that protecting this right is central to the healthy functioning of our diverse democracy.
