The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America
Join Author Richard Rothstein as he talks about his book The Color of Law and how it documents how American cities, from San Francisco to Boston, became so racially divided, as federal, state, and local governments systematically imposed residential segregation, with:
• undisguised racial zoning,
• public housing that purposefully segregated previously mixed communities,
• subsidies for builders to create whites-only suburbs,
• tax exemptions for institutions that enforced segregation,
• official support for violent resistance to African Americans in white neighborhoods,
• state licensing of real estate brokers whose code prohibited racial mixing,
• state and federal court orders evicting African Americans who moved to white
neighborhoods,
• routing of highways to separate African American and white neighborhoods
About the Author:
Richard Rothstein is an American academic and author affiliated with the Economic Policy Institute, and a senior fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. His current research focuses on the history of segregation in the United States with regards to education and housing.
