Salt Lake City leaders seek to eradicate discrimination
Fair housing was the topic of Debra Daniels’ first high school debate speech.
With the release of a report Tuesday detailing incidents of discrimination in Salt Lake City, Daniels is still talking about the need for equality some 35 years later.
“I am surprised today, in 2009, that we are still asking that our citizens be allowed to move into a neighborhood, to … access employment and health care … and they’re being denied based on who they are,” Daniels said on the steps of the Salt Lake City-County Building.
The report by the Salt Lake City Human Rights Commission found discrimination based on race, faith, class and sexual orientation happens often in the city.
