The outdated document reads, 'no person of other than the Caucasian race shall own, use or occupy any property in said subdivision...'
An emergency press conference was held on Monday in Tallahassee, Florida, after a local attorney discovered racist language in a midtown neighborhood's covenant. The agreement in question was written more than a half-century ago and banned non-Caucasians from owning or residing on the property in the Betton Hills subdivision.
The document reads,"no person of other than the Caucasian race shall own, use or occupy any property in said subdivision except that this covenant shall not prevent occupancy by domestic servants of a different race or nationality employed by an owner or tenant." Her initial post, which was shared on June 22, resulted in leaders throughout the city to call on the City of Tallahassee to take action regarding the language, which they have dubbed"repugnant."
Brezin shared in a blog post on Sunday that this is a property law issue tied to titles, and that there is no easy fix.
