It was in April 54 years ago, that President Lyndon Johnson signed the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1968.
That law included Title VIII, among a number of other provisions and was given many labels as a result. Among these is the "Fair Housing Act." It prohibited "discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, (and as amended) handicap, and family status.”
