On the day of the March on Washington the Congress of Racial Equality asked Levitt if he would change his policies on discrimination against Negroes. This quotation, perhaps more than any, other illustrates why legal discrimination was so pernicious. Any builder who tried to break down the housing color barrier would pay an economic penalty and the moral issue became economic. In trying to change America’s attitude on race the people who is the way would then be punished economically. This is why both the black-and-white leadership who wanted desegregation realized that it had to be done by legislation, and not by a process of education and persuasion. In housing a persuaded convert could not act alone without severe penalty. Even after housing discrimination was made illegal, the builders who desegregated suffered somewhat for many years because so many people found ways to evade the law, and government officials at all levels were reluctant to enforce the law.
