Despres Leads Fight for Open Occupancy in Chicago
Alderman Leon Despres and two independents urged a special City Council session to pass an open housing ordinance barring real estate discrimination. The move, aimed at expanding the 1963 open housing measure, was opposed by Alderman Thomas Keane who proposed urging state action on statewide open occupancy. The dispute centered on procedure and whether to push a city only or statewide policy, noting Wheaton and East St Louis already have similar ordinances. Despres later contributed a guest editorial to today's Herald.
