CONFESSIONS OF A FAIR-HOUSING AGITATOR relates the story of the first three months of the author's frustrating efforts in the fall of 1967 to enlist and organize her small group of volunteers into smoothly functioning testers. The use of black testers had been recently approved by the New Jersey Supreme Court as the only valid way to prove and successfully prosecute racial discrimination in real estate offices and apartment complexes. But the process of filing these complaints with the N. J. Division on Civil Rights was a legally complicated procedure, requiring some shadowy methods and requiring the trained skills of the HAHAs, the House And Apartment Hunters Anonymous.
