Mitchell Key Roles in Civil Rights Open Housing Bill
Clarence M. Mitchell Jr. orchestrated the passage of the 1968 civil rights and open housing law, acting as catalyst and chief lobbyist for the NAACP and the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights. His persistent pressure helped overcome opposition from Southern Democrats and secured key Republican support to pass the Senate open housing amendment. The bill bans racial discrimination in 80 percent of housing and becomes effective in 1970 after Johnson signs it.
