Fair Housing PSA - 1968?

Genre: public service announcement

Complete Record: From a 16mm print Voice-Over: Male: They told us the apartment was rented - then they rented it to someone else a few days later. Female: If you're black, you've got to be famous to live where you want. You call up - the agent has a house. Show your face - it vanishes. Male: With the 'For Sale' sign right outside, the agent told me the place was sold already. I'll tell you why me and my family can't live in that neighborhood - 'cause we're black. Female: The ad said the apartment was 148 dollars. We got there and the rent was 165 dollars. 165 dollars... there aught to be a law! Announcer: There is a law. The Fair Housing Law of 1968. And anybody who stops you from living anyplace because of your color, religion, race is breaking that law. Don't let him get away with it. Write for your rights to Fair Housing, Washington DC. Unfair housing isn't unfair. It's illegal. ffn017-19
