Comments
A car driver in Danbury, CT said that his uncle talked
with a realtor, c. 1997, about buying a home in New
Fairfield. The uncle expressed that he didn’t want to
live near blacks and the realtor suggested, “that he
buy in New Fairfield ‘because there are no blacks and
we won’t sell to them. You don’t have to worry about
that.'”
The car driver added that there were no blacks in his
high school when he graduated c.1999.
