Utah History To Go - Civil Rights Movement
Anti-black prejudice appeared in most neighborhoods as regularly as the paperboy. At the height of Germany's Nazi power in 1939, Sheldon Brewster (a Salt Lake City realtor and later Democratic speaker of the Utah House of Representatives) gathered a thousand signatures on a petition asking the Salt Lake City commission to designate a section of the city as an African American ghetto. After the commission refused to pass such blatantly racist legislation, Brewster tried to induce Blacks to voluntarily agree to sell their homes and buy into his ghetto plan. African Americans and their supporters marched on the state capitol in protest, but many real estate companies tried to achieve Brewster's goal informally by inserting "whites only" covenants in contracts until such restrictions became illegal in 1948.

Utah History To Go - Blacks in Utah History
Lynching was the extreme form of discrimination and housing difficulties the common form. In 1939 Salt Lake City commissioners received a petition with one thousand signatures asking that Blacks living in Salt Lake be restricted to one residential area. This area would be located away from the City and County Building where visitors to the city would not come in contact with a sizeable number of Blacks. The petition was initiated by Sheldon Brewster, a realtor and bishop of a Mormon ward. 75 Brewster employed a local Black in the attempt to persuade Blacks to sell their houses and agree to be colonized in one location, but he failed to secure their cooperation. Blacks rose up in indignation and marched to the Capitol to protest Brewster's action. 76 When the petition failed to get the approval of the commissioners, a restrictive covenant policy was used to limit Black opportunities in housing.
