THIS DAY @ LAW

Supreme court overturns racially restrictive covenants

On May 3, 1948, the Supreme Court ruled that racially restrictive covenants violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, even covenants between private individuals. In Shelley v. Kraemer, the Court overturned a covenant among members of a neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri that restricted home sales to only white families.
