Book Discussion | JUST ACTION: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law with authors Leah and Richard Rothstein

Richard Rohtstein is author of the 2017 NY Times Bestseller, "The Color of Law," a book that demolished the de facto segregation myth that Black and White Americans live separately by choice, providing the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation. "JUST ACTION" is the follow-up to "The Color of Law" and is co-authored by housing expert Leah Rothstein. It provides bona fide solutions, based on decades of study and experience, that activists and their supporters can undertake to address historical inequities, and press those in government and the private sector that imposed segregation to finally take responsibility for reversing the harm, creating victories that might finally challenge residential segregation and help remedy a profoundly unconstitutional past.
