After I, Uriah J. Fields, won my housing discrimination case against Mr.and Mrs. David Klein of Beverly Hills, California... and a settlement was reached in 1964 under the penalty of the Unruh Civil Rights Act of California..., "thus the tacitly admitting their guilt in this instance," my Attorney George Baltaxe, in the closing paragraph of his final letter to me writes: "I believe in this case your position has been completely vindicated. I hope that it will serve as some sort of impetus on the Negroes of the community to utilize their rights under the law. If this were done the amount of discrimination in existence in housing would be greatly diminish by my opinion"
- Attorney George Balaxe

Note: My housing discrimination case was four years before the Civil Rights Act of 1968, commonly known as the Fair Housing Act, and the last of the Civil Rights Acts to be the law of the land, was enacted in April, 1968, one week after the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.  In  1964. California was one of only a  few States that had an anti-discrimination housing law.
-Uriah J.  Fields
