Famous Author of The Color of Law | Richard Rothstein| Educational Video for Women

Would you believe the federal government discriminated with intent? Richard Rothstein, the author of The Color of Law, explains how the Federal Housing Administration housing was designed to explicitly segregate. It would not insure mortgages for African Americans but it subsidized developers with the requirement that no home would be sold to African Americans, and it was included in the Underwriting manual. Veterans Administration established under GI Bill adopted all of the racial exclusions and restrictions (Levittown, Daly City) financed by VA. If you don't have a home, you don't have equity in the home which increases to provide the primary source of wealth. In this episode, Richard explains how written policies were used to segregate African Americans in the mid-1920s and how that still determines the racial landscape of today.

Key Takeaways:
-The obligation we have to redress the current unconstitutional racial landscape
