Inside a group's push for whites-only communities "heritage communities"
A white separatist group called Return to the Land (RTTL) is establishing whites-only 'heritage communities' across rural America by structuring them as private membership associations to avoid legal challenges under the Fair Housing Act of 1968. The group operates in regions like the Ozarks and Appalachia, leveraging recent Supreme Court decisions and the Trump administration's civil rights policies to advance its agenda, with a focus on creating 'parallel societies' for people of European ancestry.
