Judge Henry Ramsey '63 recently donated to the Archives publications documenting Boalt student activism during the very early 1960s. Two organizations, the Berkeley Law Students Democratic Club and the Berkeley Law Students Young Democrats, are represented. Of particular interest is a mimeographed report titled "Segregation: Professional Ethics of the Berkeley Realty Board." The Berkeley Law Students Democratic Club investigated the practices of Berkeley area realtors to determine whether prejudicial practices on the part of realtors contributed to segregation in the city. Two women, one black ("negro" in the parlance of the day) and one white, visited various realtors on successive days. The black woman asked about properties in higher-income, predominantly white areas, while the white woman asked about a specific property in a predominantly black area. While some of the realtors were even-handed in their responses to the "clients," many revealed deep prejudice. In one encounter, the black woman was discouraged from looking at houses in a white neighborhood. "When asked about a home which is situated in the Berkeley Hills area, the woman realtor admitted that there might be problems. She said that people were not disposed to sell to negroes but that she personally would be willing to sell if it were up to her. The realtor steered applicant to a home on a particular block in El Cerrito into which, it was later discovered, negro families had moved."
