Whereas, under the federal fair housing, (Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968), it is illegal to deny housing to any person because of race, color, religion, sex or national origin; and,
Therefore, be it resolved the Town of Midland, South Dakota, makes a firm commitment to do all within its power to eliminate prejudice, intolerance, disorder and discrimination in housing.
Therefore, be it also resolved that the Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity logo will be displayed at the Midland Municipal Building, Midland, SD.
