Fourth Wednesday Book Club: The Color of Law

Join us as we discuss The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein. In this history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein explodes the myth that America’s cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation―that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions. Rather, The Color of Law makes clear it was the laws and policy decisions passed by governments―that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
