About the Civil Rights Act of 1968
On April 11, 1968, after decades of racist policies, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968 (Fair Housing Act) which prohibits housing discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin. [/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider][mk_ornamental_title font_family=”none” font_size=”28″ ornament_style=”norman-double”]Panelists[/mk_ornamental_title][mk_padding_divider][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_circle_image src=”https://www.civilandhumanrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/t.-lee-headshot.jpg” image_diameter=”150″][mk_padding_divider][mk_circle_image src=”https://www.civilandhumanrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/w.-brooks-headshot.jpg” image_diameter=”150″][mk_padding_divider size=”70″][mk_circle_image src=”https://www.civilandhumanrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/buell-c-photo.jpg” image_diameter=”150″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][mk_fancy_title font_family=”none”]Terri M.
