Later the same day, Smith posted about the historical significance of the Fair Housing Act, initially passed in 1968. He focused on ongoing housing affordability challenges, stating, "On this day in 1968, the Fair Housing Act was passed, prohibiting discrimination when buying a home. We still have a long fight ahead of us to build more affordable housing, but this legislation was a step towards supporting all Americans."
