@BrianLehrer so the STATE shall not support discrimination by contracting with discriminatory contractors, right? Cath Charities can do what it wants, but did the SC at least allow for the state to NOT support them?

@BrianLehrer Thx! Plz mention that despite the massacre & no compensation, they rebuilt ... But only to have it all razed by urban renewal! Shocking!!

@yjeanwrites hi! Thx for your BPL article. Owens quote tho doesn't have a specific attribution. It's not just that I'm seeking the credit (smile) but that it reads a bit strangely with just "Owens" reference. (And I'm "Millard 'Mitty' Owens", the youngest of us 3.) Thx

[Mitty Owens @MittyOwens]

Much appreciation for this #racialequityimpinv blitz on these vital matters. Please look for the collection of short, medium & long-term ideas we offered - intended for further refinement and discussion. (Just joined TransformFinance & look forward to helping advance this work)
