The Fair Housing Center of the Greater Palm Beaches and the Legal Aid Society of Palm Beach County Fair Housing Month Celebration Event was a huge success. The event was one of the many across the country celebrating the passage of the historical Fair Housing Act of 1968, passed on April 11^th of 1968, days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4^th .  

President Johnson, at the time of the signing of the bill,  said its passage was a fitting memorial to the live and work of Dr. King. Vince Larkins, FHC President/CEO,  lead a great discussion on the fair housing issues involved in the movie,   “A RAISON IN THE SUN, WHAT HAPPENS TO A DREAM DEFERRED”.  Make sure to visit the FHC in Facebook to view more pictures of the event. 

Thanks to all attendees & staffs of both agencies for a great night & discussion on this historical movie and a special thanks to Tequisha Myles, Supervising Attorney of the Legal Aid Society Fair Housing Project for spearheading this special occasion.
