"Buchanan v. Warley", 245 U.S. 60 (1917) was a unanimous United States Supreme Court decision addressing racial segregation in residential areas. The Court held that a Louisville, Kentucky ordinance requiring residential segregation based on race violated the Fourteenth Amendment. Unlike prior state court rulings that had overturned racial zoning ordinances on takings clause grounds due to those ordinances' failures to grandfather land owned prior to enactment, the Court in "Buchanan" ruled that motive, race, for the Louisville ordinance was an insufficient purpose to make the law constitutional.cite book |chapter=The Racial Origins of Zoning in American Cities |title=Urban Planning & the African American Community: In the Shadows |last=Silver |first=Christopher |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=1997 |editor=Thomas, J.
