The Supreme Court case Hansberry v. Lee (1940) was decided in favor of Hansberry. The Court ruled that a racially restrictive covenant, which barred Black people from buying property in a certain neighborhood, could not be enforced against Hansberry because he was not a party to the original case that established the covenant. This decision helped to undermine the legality of racially restrictive housing practices in the United States.
