Minority leaders praised the ruling, while critics warn against reopening race relations tensions. Justice White joined by Warren and Douglas affirmed the state court, with Harlan dissenting.

Prop. 14 Unconstitutional. California housing acts tied
UPI reports Proposition 14 was struck down by the U S Supreme Court after three years, nullifying the Rumford Fair Housing Act of 1963 and unimpaired Unruh Civil Rights Act of 1959. The campaign framed it as housing freedom versus ending discrimination, with unions and churches opposing the measure. The ruling followed a long, heated California political battle.
