Yeah those homes they were selling in Spenard, that "started his amazing five-year climb to wealth" as Wohlforth puts it, were sold with racial covenants. As an example, a deed from November 4, 1947, with both Wally's and Ermalee's names on it, includes this: "The property hereby conveyed shall not be sold or alienated in any manner whatsoever to other than Americans of the white race." This wasn't boilerplate at the time for deeds either.
