On June 17, 1968, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered an important decision in Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co., strengthening fair housing rights in the United States. The Court ruled that racial discrimination in the sale or rental of property was illegal, including discrimination by private property owners. The decision reinforced the Civil Rights Act of 1866 and became a major step toward equal housing opportunities and protection against racial bias in the real estate market.

17 جون 1968 کو امریکی سپریم کورٹ نے Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co. کیس میں ایک اہم فیصلہ سنایا، جس سے امریکہ میں فیئر ہاؤسنگ حقوق کو مزید تقویت ملی۔ عدالت نے قرار دیا کہ جائیداد کی خرید و فروخت یا کرایہ داری میں نسل کی بنیاد پر امتیازی سلوک غیر قانونی ہے، چاہے یہ امتیاز نجی پراپرٹی مالکان کی جانب سے ہی کیوں نہ کیا جائے۔ اس فیصلے نے Civil Rights Act of 1866 کو مزید مؤثر بنایا اور رئیل اسٹیٹ مارکیٹ میں مساوی رہائشی مواقع اور نسلی تعصب کے خلاف تحفظ کی جانب ایک اہم قدم ثابت ہوا۔

17 جون 1885 کو مجسمۂ آزادی فرانس سے فرانسیسی بحری جہاز Isère کے ذریعے نیویارک ہاربر پہنچا۔ یہ مجسمہ 200 سے زائد کریٹس میں امریکہ بھیجا گیا تھا، جو فرانس کے عوام کی جانب سے امریکہ کے لیے ایک تحفہ تھا۔ یہ تحفہ آزادی، جمہوریت اور دونوں ممالک کے درمیان دوستی کی علامت سمجھا جاتا ہے۔ آمد کے بعد اس مجسمے کو بیڈلوز آئی لینڈ پر نصب کیا گیا، جسے آج لبرٹی آئی لینڈ کے نام سے جانا جاتا ہے، جبکہ اس کا باضابطہ افتتاح 28 اکتوبر 1886 کو کیا گیا۔
