Puzzle and protests at YWCA crowd Hornick’s yearslong stand
A long running dispute at the Madison YWCA centers on Dorothy Hornick, who moved into Room 520 in 1972 and fought eviction over alleged discriminatory treatment. She won a stay, lost later, and faced double rent before the state court reversed that order. She remains undaunted, noting mistreatment of the elderly while criticizing board actions and a misrepresented presidential veto in politics.
