Let's celebrate the 76th anniversary of one of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions for civil rights! On May 3, 1948, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that individuals could no longer use the courts to keep people of color from living in neighborhoods because of their race. Previously, phrases in property deeds, known as racial covenants, could be added to target people of color, and the courts would enforce them. On Shelley Day, learn more about how this 76-year-old case affected homeowners here in Robbinsdale, in Minneapolis, and across the nation.
