mar 25, 1969 - Fair Housing Act Proposed

Description:

Baxter pushes his Fair Housing Act, which bans racial (and religious and national origin) discrimination in the sale, rental, or financing of housing; empower the Department of Justice to file lawsuits in cases of systemic discrimination; includes stronger enforcement mechanisms. Baxter ties this bill to urban reinvestment and housing access, framing it as a moral and economic issue rather than just a legal one.
