Fifty-five years ago today, just one week after the assassination of Dr. King, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act into law. Today, the civil rights community continues our work to help realize the full promise of this landmark civil rights law.
It continues to remain disappointing when government officials claim to want to involve *all* stakeholders at the table but then proceed to exclude people from the communities that will be *most* impacted by the policy decisions made. #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
