Lawsuit Challenges Whites-Only Arkansas Compound for Discrimination
A St. Louis real estate broker sues Return to the Land, a Ravenden, Ark., whites-only community run by white nationalists, alleging racial and ancestry-based discrimination in violation of the Fair Housing Act and Civil Rights Acts of 1866/1871. The suit, the first civil action against the group, argues private-association provisions don’t shield the venture, while Arkansas investigators probe potential violations and the founders defend their right to freely associate.
