jaymeb reviewed The color of law by Richard Rothstein
Review of 'The color of law' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
This was a difficult read. Not only for it's dense material (there is over 80 pages of notes), but also for the emotional toll it took on me. I'm not so ignorant to think that segregation was the result of people wanting to be with "their own". But I was definitely shocked at the extent our government developed policies and laws that kept African Americans out of white neighborhoods. This book should be required reading.
