More ‘ specifically, the issue is whether the government shall change the ■ racial, religions and ethnic as- | poets of housing patterns in the I’nited States. I S. mVKKSITY All of us arc familiar with j the great diversity of popula- t ion patterns in housing in I America. This diversity extends i from region to region, and with in the several States In some nroac such as in the rural South, there is an almost com- plote absence of any discernible pattern; while in other areas, such as in the suburbs sur rounding major cities all over the nation, there is a pattern of strict segregation This diversity is further il lustrated by the existence of entire towns of one race In certain parts of the country, contrasted with small towns In the South whleh have dlfTerent neighborhoods existing harmoni- otis|\ side hv side down through the generations. In many of the towns and cities of this nation, people of a particular religions faith congregate in one section, or people of a particular nation ality [irefer a neighborhood which reflects the language or the customs of flip "old coun try." Only a bigot could object to the rich diversity of this American heritage. These patterns are not par- ticularlv static. In some places, cosmopolitan neighborhoods representative of all »• -s and religions have developed Some 1 nT'f'.;lTttnr1inods make an abrupt -and snmntimns disruptive change from one group to'an otlwr. More recent ly we have I seen the phenomenon of whole neighborhoods of the innei eitv being rebuilt and rejuvenated by the very people who a gen eration ago were moving to the suburbs. ( II AN tin The neighborhoods of Amer ica have only one thing in com mon: They arc diverse. Some arc segregated Some are inte grated. Some reflect an ethnic oi religious heritage Some are cosmopolitan. Some people may move freely into a neighborhood wheiv a generation ago thev would have been unwelcome Change is inevitable, hut let d reflect the multiple and indi vidual decisions ol the people The homeowner sustains or changes the character of a neighborhood by his choice ol how he disposes of his property. Even when he is about to move away, or the housi he is sell ing is not his own residence, he is guided not only by eco nomic choices; he Is also guided by his own social responsibility and his moral sensitivity to ward the wishes of ids neigh bors. It would be a great loss to America if every neighborhood were transformed hy law into a collection of "housing units” whose sale were governed only by sterile economic considera tions. WILLING SALE The conditions of sale con sist of a willing buyer and a willing seller The decisions rest with the individuals in volved: the dee ; sion of a pur chaser to try to buy a home in a certain neighborhood, and the decision of the owner to sell or not So-called "open housing" leg islation would eliminate one ot the most profound rights of a property owner The under standable desire of American families to shape a neighbor hood which reflects their own ideas about how th-yv want to live will have been made ii- tegal The present system is not perfect Free choice mict al low some people to he free to make mistakes So called Of >f * f housing" is a poor alternativv to freedom appi MU bob a ' thi (lerieral As wmbl v M ! s j Whip Miss South ('anil in a. el IfloH. addressed 1 ho J< >. nt ess ion at 12 15 on Wed tiesday, L eh 28. 1968.
