Abstract
In spite of the passage of federal open housing legislation in 1968, residential segregation practices continue across the country and are extremely resistant to change. The author reports the use of survey research data-making public the results of audits of racial discrimination in housing in one city over a two-year period-as a motivating force to bring about actual compliance with the law.Keywords
