Housing Discrimination Then and Now

Page history last edited by PBworks 16 years, 3 months ago

Obviously the Youngers were discriminated against when Mr. Linder came to see them and actually offered them money NOT to move into their new home, just because of their skin color. This was illegal back then, but it was accepted because there were not many laws or agencies to help. Nowadays, there are many agencies and laws to help those who have been discrimated against. It still goes on, but not just with race anymore.

· Research the different ways in which a person can be discriminated in housing (own or rent), the laws and agencies that are supposed to prevent discrimination in housing, and make a poster or PowerPoint to sum up your findings. It would be wise to include some charts and graphs, as well as example cases and copies of anything that a person needing to file a claim would have to fill out.

· In a report, include whether the Youngers would have a case based on what happened to them and all of your findings on housing discrimination, then and now.

· Type a MLA formatted Works Cited page for any "borrowed" information.
