In the almost 40 years she has lived in her home, Emily Ricketts, 89, who is African American, has cleaned her home hundreds times. As she vacuumed her home, she reflected on something that was just brought to her attention.Up until six months ago she didn't know there was a housing restriction saying she couldn’t live there.'I thought, oh my goodness, what would I have done had I known it back in 1980?' Ricketts said. 'So I'm glad I didn't know.
However, the new Uniform Unlawful Restrictions in Land Records Act, a bipartisan bill that passed into law in March, which took effect last week, allows neighborhood associations across Arizona to get rid of the racist restrictions.The new law also allows for home owners associations and neighborhood associations to take out restrictions discriminating against, religion, sex, or disability.'Because it's not right. It's not fair,” Ricketts commented.
