Mikva Denies Segregated Housing Area Claim in D.C.
Congressman Abner Mikva rejected Chuck Stone’s allegation that his Capitol area residence is in a racially segregated zone. Stone, once an assistant to Adam Clayton Powell, had charged housing there was segregated. Mikva noted integrated housing and schools, listing Langley High School and Chesterbrook Elementary as his children’s schools. The piece situates the home near Arlington in Fairfax County, with mailing address in McLean, Virginia. Other local figures named include John Dingle, Lucien Nedzie, Birch Bayh, and mentions Kennedy brothers in the surrounding area. Mikva specifies Hyde Park as his voting address and signals plans to support Powell’s seating.
