Supreme Court’s Latest Race Case: Housing Discrimination
This week, the U.S. Supreme Court will take up one of the most important civil rights cases of the last decade. If you’ve never heard of Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs v. The Inclusive Communities Project, you have company. The issue of housing segregation has never captivated the nation’s attention like affirmative action or voting rights.

I became involved in fair housing in 1990 after meeting Mike, as he always encouraged attorneys and others to become involved in fair housing. I know that many of you knew Mike from his posts, presence at many seminars and conference, and, perhaps most of all, his reminders for updated case information for the annual "$190 Million and Counting" database Mike compiled from his survey of National Fair Housing Alliance members.
We will all remember his passion for fair housing and civil rights. Those that knew Mike even earlier that this will remember his work on death penalty cases. You should all know that you were very important to him. He was always appreciative of the work you do and personally shared in your victories and defeats.
