“THE COLOR OF LAW”, by Richard Rothstein ARC-ASSISTED READING GUIDE

“The Color of Law” by Richard Rothstein explores the history of government-sponsored segregation in the United States, particularly focusing on housing policies. It argues that racial segregation in housing was not just the result of private actions, but also of explicit government policies at the local, state, and federal levels. 

Readers can expect to gain insights into how these policies have shaped patterns of racial inequality and segregation that persist today and to better understand the complexities of the ongoing struggle for fair housing and social justice.
