Top Court Rules on Racial Covenants Again
The Supreme Court ruled that a house owner may not be sued for violating a racial covenant. The decision extends the 1948 ruling that such covenants are legal in principle but unenforceable in court. The case involved Leola Jackson of Los Angeles and neighbors seeking damages after non whites moved into her property. Justice Minton delivered the decision with Justices Reed and Jackson not participating. The Court held California could not be forced to punish Jackson or enforce the covenant by state action or federal policy. In a separate action, the Court declined to overturn death sentences for two Guam defendants in a rape murder case.
