"Before his death, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led the fight to end housing discrimination. Though he did not live to see the Fair Housing Act become law in 1968--50 years ago today--he knew that the path to equality ran through desegregated and non-discriminatory housing policy."

"The landmark agreement held so much promise, but the facts show how much work remains to be done: from health to education to access to good jobs, the painful legacy of housing discrimination remains a wrong that America must right."

"The Fair Housing Act gives the Department of Housing and Urban Development the responsibility to address systemic bias in the housing market. #FairHousing"

"We must remember the sacrifices made to pass the #FairHousingAct and redouble our efforts to make the dream of fair housing a reality--and that means holding government accountable if they diverge from their historic mission."
