The Dane County Board took a significant step toward addressing the history of racial discrimination in homeownership by passing 2024 RES-305 on Thursday night. The resolution acknowledges the impact of racially restrictive covenants and the broader legacy of housing discrimination in Dane County.

These covenants, which barred individuals from purchasing property based on race, were declared unenforceable by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1948 and later banned under the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Most recently, Governor Tony Evers signed Wisconsin Act 210 on March 22, 2024, officially voiding and rendering such discriminatory clauses unenforceable.
