Cuomo announces
settiement with KKK
chaplain accused of
housing discrimination
WASHINGTON
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew
Cuomo today announced that a self-described Chaplain to
the Ku Klux Klan has settled a housing discrimination
complain by agreeing to pay part of his income and to
publicly apologize to a woman and her daughter who felt
terrorized by his actions, and by agreeing to perform 1,000
hours of community service.
The agreement settles a housing discrimination com
plaint against Roy Frankhouser and his group - United
Klans of America - accusing them of violating the Fair
Housing Act by harassing and intimidating Bonnie Jouhari
and her now 18 year-old daughter, Danielle Horton. Jouhari
-who helped people file housing discrimination complaints
with a HUD-funded groupin Reading, PA - quit herjob and
fled to Seattle with her daughter because she feared
Frankhouser was a threat to her family.
Other portions of the settlement require Frankhouser to
display a HUD Fair Housing poster on the outside of his
house; broadcast HUD fair housing public service an
nouncements as part of his “White Forum” public access
television show; and attend sensitivity training approved
by HUD.
In her complaint, Jouhari said that in 1998 a flyer was
placed on her car that said “ Race Traitor Beware” and
pictured a Klansman with a noose. Jouhri said that at
about the same time, Frankhouser began sitting on a
bench outside her office on a regular basis and taking
photographs of her, making her feel intimidated and
harassed. Jouhari also said she began receiving threaten
ing phone calls at home and at work. The alleged intimi
dation continued even after she and her daughter fled the
state, Jouhari said.
Cuomo was joined in announcing settlement of the case
by Jouhari and her daughter; Rev. Jesse Jackson; Martin
Luther 111, President of the Southern Christian Leader
ship Conference; and Kweisi Mfume, President of the
NAACP.
“This settlement send an important message,” Cuomo
said. “HUD has zero tolerance for interference with
courageous people who work selflessly to abolish housing
discrimination. These people are heroes, and we will
protect them from efforts to halt their courageous efforts.”
Jackson said: “Secretary Cuomo is to be congratulated
for enforcing the law and affording an environment of
domestic tranquillity. In time, we must overcome atti
tudes of hatred, but we must immediately enforce the law
to stop of acts of violence and threat.”
In addition, Mfume sain: “I commend Ms. Jouhari and
Secretary Cuomo for taking up the fight for fair housing
against discrimination. We must stand together against
intimidation, threats and other hostile acts, to ensure that
brave men and women like Ms. Jouhari know that they
have support for their efforts. This settlementis areal step
toward justice.”
King said: “Justice delayed is justice denied, and in Ms.
Jouhari’s case, justice is finally being done. On behalf of
the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, I com
mend Secretary Cuomo and the Department of remaining
vigilant in support of Ms. Jouhari and for fighting so hard
for the cause of fair housing. This case reminds us once
again that we all must keep fighting for my father’s dream
of an America free of prejudice, and the resolution of this
case is an important step forward.”
Jouhari said: “My case serves notice to those people who
spouse hatred and seek to deprive the rights of all people
live where they choose. You will not prevail, and there
onsequences for your actions. For those who have joined
e in the fight for fair housing, let this be and inspiration
you. You fight is just and you will succeed. You will
ucceed because you have an advocate in Andrew Cuomo
d HUD, who I thank for their fierce commitment to my
ase and the cause of eliminating housing discrimination.”

Boyhood home of President
Wilson set to be restored
Historic Augusta, Inc. has re
cently completed the Landscape
and Gardens Restoration Plan for
the Boyhood Home of President
Woodrow Wilson located at 419

likely appearance in the 1860 s
while the Wilson Family was in
residence there. A previous ar
