ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“The Color of Law” by Richard Rothstein examines the systematic and government-sponsored segregation of African Americans in housing throughout the 20th century. Rothstein argues that racial segregation in American cities was not just a result of private choices or social forces, but was actively enforced through policies such as redlining, public housing practices, and discriminatory zoning laws. The book explores how these policies denied Black families the opportunity to build wealth and access equal housing, creating lasting economic and social disparities. It highlights the role of government actions in perpetuating racial inequality, with a focus on the legal and political dimensions of segregation.
