The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein

challenging informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

I have read chapters and excerpts of this book before but finally got around to it on my tbr and I’m so happy I did. It’s such an incredible, decisive, airtight case for the ways in which systemic, state sponsored racism is the cause of continued residential and economical racialized segregation in our country today. This should be mandatory reading for…everyone.
