Description
Discussion of racial discrimination in Johnson County, Kansas, and the Donald and Virginia Sewing family that was the first black family to move into Fairway, Kansas, in 1966. Sewing was a real estate agent who "adopted the strategy of scattering black families who wanted to purchase a home throughout the communities of northeast Johnson County, rather than taking the more common approach of clustering black families in one area." Includes picture of the Sewing family and of Ruth Shechter who moved to Fairway in 1958 and "immediately became a key figure in the struggle for civil rights and fair housing in Johnson County."
