The focus of this five-part series is on an important housing discrimination case that unfolded in the early 2000s, culminating ten years ago – in 2014 - in an important victory for the tenants involved in the case. Latino immigrant residents, under the Fair Housing Act of 2006, successfully fought back an organized attempt by a developer and local officials to displace them from their homes in a residential housing complex in Farmingdale, New York.
