Court urged to protect Negro homeowners rights to recreation
The Nixon administration asked the Supreme Court to rule that the 1866 civil rights act protects Negro homeowners from being barred from community recreation facilities. In a friend of the court brief, the Justice Department argued that excluding Negroes from pools parks and clubs affects property desirability and value and violates equal rights to incidents of home ownership. The case involves a Virginia suburb private recreation facility where a white family’s tenants were barred from use, prompting court review after lower courts ruled against the families.
