Vintage No On Prop 14 Pin Button Circa 1964 (California)

Description

Vintage No On Prop 14 Pin Button Circa 1964.
California Proposition 14
was a November 1964 initiative
ballot proposition
that amended the
California
state
constitution to nullify the 1963 Rumford Fair Housing Act, thereby allowing property sellers, landlords and their agents to openly discriminate on ethnic grounds when selling or letting accommodations, as they had been permitted to before 1963. The proposition became law after receiving support from 65% of voters. In 1966, the
California Supreme Court
in a 5-2 split decision declared Proposition 14 unconstitutional under the equal protection clause of the United States Constitution (Fourteenth Amendment). The
U.S. Supreme Court
affirmed that decision in 1967 in
Reitman v. Mulkey
.
