The conference will take place on Thursday, September 7 and Friday, September 8 at UIC Law and will feature a Law Review Symposium and celebratory reception.
For three decades, the UIC Law Fair Housing Legal Support Center & Clinic has played a pivotal role in educating the public about fair housing laws and tirelessly working towards the eradication of discriminatory housing practices. To commemorate this significant milestone, the conference will host distinguished experts who will delve into a wide range of topics, along with a featured presentation from Bill Dedman on the conference theme: “Fair Housing: Thirty-Five Years after ‘The Color of Money’ – The Struggle Continues.” The presentation will highlight the progress made since Dedman’s groundbreaking, "The Color of Money," series shed light on racial discrimination by banks and savings and loan associations in middle-income Black neighborhoods.
