The Color of Law: How Our Government Segregated America

May 2, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Featuring Richard Rothstein, an American historian and academic. His research focuses on the history of segregation in the United States with regards to educationand housing. His most recent work is The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America whichexplores Rothstein’s contention that racial housing segregation is in fact the result of government policy, both federal, state, and local. The book was positively received; a review in The New York Times said that there was “no better history” of housing segregation, while Rachel Cohen of Slate called The Color of Law “essential.” 

Q&A will follow. Books will be available for purchase and signing.

Registration is on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 9:00 am.
