of Honolulu. On April 11, 1968, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Title VIII of the Act, also known as the \u201cFair Housing Act,\u201d prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin, sex, (and as amended) handicap and family status.
