JUDGING REMEDIES: JUDICIAL APPROACHES TO HOUSING SEGREGATION |
37 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 289 (Summer, 2002) |
Using the law to promote diversity in residential communities is probably more difficult than promoting it in any other public policy domain.

Property law is about people and how they use things. The people element underlies the two branches of property law, estates, also known as probate law, and real estate.

RETHINKING THE INTEGRATIVE IDEAL: HOUSING |

Nobody talks about racial integration anymore. Is it because we don't believe in it? That we never believed in it?

Have blacks endured too many acts of racism to trust even the most sincere white avowals of commitment to a shared destiny in America?... |
