Black homeowners in Washington state brought attention to the outdated covenant clauses that bar Black people from certain communities unless they are servants.
Black homeowners in several Thurston County communities were aware of racist language in their covenants that excluded residents who aren’t White, King 5 reported.
The illegal and unenforceable practice was deemed unconstitutional decades ago. But somehow was erased from homeowner paperwork in the Washington county.
Michelle Fearing, a homeowner in Thurston County, was completely appalled after she realized what her clause was actually saying. “It was shocking,” Fearing said. “I’m reading it going, ‘Whoa. Wow. That’s crazy.’” Fearing has a Beachcrest community covenant that was written in 1948.
