A group building a “whites-only” housing community in the Ozark Mountains area of Arkansas has been sued for its alleged violations of fair housing laws.
The founders of Return to the Land have sought to bar anyone who isn’t white and heterosexual from joining their community, which had about 40 members as of last summer, The New York Times reported last year. At the time, co-founder Eric Orwoll told the outlet: “Seeing someone who doesn’t present as white might lead us to, among other things, not admit that person.”
