BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA:
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 Twenty-Third 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, that April 1992 is hereby
proclaimed as Fair Housing Month, and the City Commission asks that
the people of this City join in reaffirming the obligation and
commitment to fair housing opportunities for all .
