The Origin of “Grandfathered” and the Grandfather Clause

The terms "grandfathered" and "grandfather clause" have a legacy of racial discrimination. ACTEC Fellows explore the historical significance, its use in U.S. law, and discuss if it belongs in modern times.
Planning for a Diverse and Equitable Future is a series created by The American College of Trust and Estate Counsel’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity Committee. ACTEC considers the historical, continuing, and devastating impact of institutionalized racism, discrimination, and bias of all types in our society to be a humanitarian, rather than a political issue. This series strives to educate and discuss these issues and to offer practical recommendations to combat inequality and to increase cultural competence in our profession.
