Dear Reader,
No sense trying to explain why Blog88.org has been AWOL. To say I’ve been stalking a hot story which needs to be kept under wraps for another 6 months or more, might sound like an excuse.
So I am just going to restart the blog, and trust that 35 of blog88.org’s 72 subscribers will still love me; and the other 37 who subscribe because you feel sorry for my Quixotic efforts, will be kind enough to keep on humoring me. (I need to be humored. . . it keeps me going!)
I guess the new blog88.org story is safe to publish, as the Statute of Limitations on my Fair Housing violation has expired. My client — a relocating family with two young children — had viewed homes in several towns, and were now looking in an area across the Connecticut River with recently-built homes on well-manicured, two-acre lots. The father, Lawrence, turned to me and said:
“Do you think my daughters will be the only Black children in the school and get picked on by the White kids?”
When I told the story in a continuing ed class (and what my response was), the teacher’s opinion about how I had handled it was disconcerting. Bad enough he is a lawyer, but he was also a member or the state’s Real Estate Commission. Now K-Brooks — a Fair Housing violator — was on his radar.
What do you think?* [the story is on Blog88.org]
Best regards,
Stevem K-Brooks
