Praised Essayist on Values Draws Discrimination Fine
Philadelphia Pennsylvania AP A real estate writer named Terry McGinnity was fined 800 for refusing to show a black woman a house in an all white suburb. He claimed Christian frankness and warned whites in Yeadon would be furious if shown or sold the home. The Philadelphia Municipal Court fined 200 on each of four counts, a record local discrimination penalty. The complainant said the fine is the largest in a local case. McGinnity had been invited to the White House in 1971 after an essay praising fundamental values drew attention from the Nixon era. He said he resisted breaking the black to avoid panic and racial tension. He recalled Haldeman suggesting a White House role.
