Scope and Contents
Proposition 14/California Housing Discrimination Ephemera Collection (1964) contains three flyers, a brochure, and a booklet
related to Proposition 14, a 1964 California ballot initiative that voided fair housing regulations which allowed for landlords
to deny housing based on race.
Biographical / Historical
The California Fair Housing Act of 1963, also known as the Rumford Act (AB 1240) was a bill that banned discrimination in
regards to the rental or sale of housing. In 1964, Proposition 14 was proposed and put on the state ballot in response to
the passing of the Rumford Act. Proposition 14, which nullifed the Rumford Act, allowed landlords and property sellers to
racially discriminate when it came to the renting or selling of housing. In 1966, the California Supreme Court declared Proposition
14 unconstitutional, and in 1967 the U.S. Supreme Court upheld their decision in Reitman v. Mulkey- a case involving a couple
who was denied housing based solely on their race, and Proposition 14 was annulled.
