SNA was proud to host University of Louisville Professor Tracy K’Meyer, author of To Live Peaceably Together: The American Friends Service Committee’s Campaign for Open Housing, at our June 4, 2022, breakfast. K’Meyer related the story of how the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), a Quaker social action organization, and the United Auto Workers union cooperated in the early 1950s to build Sunnyhills, an intentionally integrated community, to provide housing for the Black and white workers at the Milpitas Ford factory—one of the first interracial housing developments in the nation. Copies of her book are available from the Neighborhood Association and The Milpitas Historical Society.
