Ohio Landlord Claims ‘White Only’ Pool Sign is ‘Historical’
A white Ohio landlord is calling on a state civil rights commission to reconsider its ruling that she discriminated against a black girl when she posted a “White Only” sign at the pool of one of her Cincinnati properties.
“I’m not a bad person,” Jamie Hein told ABC News Thursday. “I don’t have any problem with race at all. It’s a historical sign.”
Even though the 1931 Alabama sign reads, “Public Swimming Pool, White Only,” Hein insists that the pool is private and everyone must ask her permission before using it.
Michael Gunn, a 40-year-old tenant of Hein’s, filed the complaint and moved from the building to “avoid subjecting their family to further humiliating treatment,” according to a commission report.
