“I suppose Old Man Trump knows just how much Racial Hate he stirred up.” Woody Guthrie
Trump's father made an impression on Woody Guthrie in 1952, who was writing about his former landlord two years after he moved out of the Beach Haven housing project for veterans in Brooklyn, New York.
Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee in 1954 for profiteering from public contracts, including overstating the building charges on Beach Haven. Those hearings led to Beach Haven tenants suing Trump for inflating their rents.
It wasn't until 1973 when the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit against the Trump organization for refusing to rent to black people. The lawsuit ended in 1975 with a consent decree ordering Trump to seek racial diversity among his tenants.

- Like father like sonutopian
- haha 1927 times were a bit different. klansmen marched against Roman Catholic police of New York City. detained for refusing to disperse from a parade.********
- and a possible thought to keep in mind was did he not rent to blacks because it would hurt his business. the current white folk might not have wanted it.********
- it could purely have been business and not racial. blacks on welfare were perceived to have been more crime ridden. it would scare away tenants. just a thought********
