A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ESTABLISHING APRIL 1984 AS
FAIR HOUSING MONTH IN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
WHEREAS, the strength of our nation, and all its States and Cities, flows from
the promise of individual equality and freedom of choice; and
WHEREAS, the Sixteenth Anniversary of the National Fair Housing Law, Title
VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, during the month of April, is an occasion for all
Americans - individually and collectively - to rededicate themselves to the principle of
freedom of choice and to participate in efforts to eliminate vestiges of housing
discrimination wherever they exist. This law guarantees for each citizen that critical,
personal element of freedom of choice - selection of the home; and
WHEREAS, fair housing is the policy of the City of Miami Beach.
Implementation of that policy requires the positive commitment, involvement and
support of each one of our citizens; and
WHEREAS, the Departments and Agencies of the City of Miami Beach are to
provide leadership in the effort to make fair housing not just an idea but an ideal for
all our citizens; and
WHEREAS, barriers that diminish the rights and limit the options of any citizen
will ultimately diminish the rights and limit the options of all:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, to hereby proclaim April 1984, as Fair
Housing Month, and ask that the people of this City join in reaffirming the obligation
and commitment to fair housing opportunities for all.
PASSED AND ADOPTED THIS 19th DAY OF April , 1984.
