My timeline was loose, but I was specifically talking about the Fair Housing act of 1968: https://www.justice.gov/crt/fair-housing-act-1

So 58/59 years if we want an exact date. But a law passed de jure doesn't mean everyone throws their hands up and willingly complies, so the sand will still be shakey for a good decade.

Of course, YMMV per state, so it's not like the Midwest or west coast had the same level of discrimination as the deep south. But that's the line that this policy became federal.
