Reviews
The Fight for Fair Housing documents the absolute necessity of fair housing enforcement and chronicles the history of the quest for fairness in the places where Americans live. Henry Cisneros, Chairman of CityView and former Secretary of HUD The Fight for Fair Housing provides the definitive account of the nation's struggle to realize the goals of the Fair Housing Act, and it does so through the eyes of the scholars who have chronicled the story and the activists who continue the battle for what is right, good and fair. Sheryll Cashin, author of Loving: Interracial Intimacy in America and the Threat to White Supremacy The Fair Housing Act has been critically important for families, communities, and all segments of the housing industry. The Fight for Fair Housing educates us about the continued need to dismantle barriers, ultimately moving us closer to being a nation where fair housing and equal opportunity are the norm in all communities. Steve Rasmussen, CEO Nationwide Fifty years have passed since the signing of the Fair Housing Act, the most important housing reform that the civil rights era produced. The expert contributors to The Fight for Fair Housing reexamine the law's purpose, impact and legacy. But from the old days of racially restrictive housing covenants and overt redlining to today's new challenges of gentrification and dislocation, the message is clear: The battle to protect equal housing rights does not end. It only changes form. Clarence Page, Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist, Chicago Tribune's Washington Bureau
