State Lawmakers Work to Strip Old Whites Only Covenants Published: 28 July 2021
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) Fred Ware and his son were researching the history of the home he s owned in the Hartford suburbs since 1950 when they discovered something far uglier than they expected.
Tucked in a list of rules on the home s original deed from the developer was a provision that said: “No persons of any race other than the white race shall use or occupy any building or any lot,” with the exception of “domestic servants of a different race.”
“He was stunned and I was stunned. This is the house I grew up in and is the only home my dad has ever owned,” David Ware said.

HARTFORD (AP) Black and Hispanic residents continue to make up a disproportionate number of people in Connecticut s justice system, which also is charging African Americans with felonies at higher rates, according to an analysis of state prosecution data released Thursday.
The report is the second annual review of court data stemming from a 2019 state law mandating a deep look into how state prosecutors are doing their jobs and the fairness of the justice system. State officials say it was the first law of its kind in the country.
Researchers with the state Office of Policy and Management and The Urban Institute reviewed nearly 156,000 charges in more than 65,000 criminal cases that were closed in 2020. The number of total cases declined 47% compared with 2019, which officials linked to the coronavirus pandemic and the shutdown of many courthouses, but racial disparities remained at nearly the same levels.
