DIESEL, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes Richard Rothstein to the store to discuss and sign, The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America (http://epi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ec2361f981a14ee1d45cccaa9&id=fa83d4ed09&e=73ae589068), on Tuesday, July 18th at 7:00 pm.
In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein explodes the myth that America's cities came to be racially divided as the result of individual prejudices, personal choices to live in same-race neighborhoods, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, The Color of Law (http://epi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ec2361f981a14ee1d45cccaa9&id=cb5795b3f4&e=73ae589068) uncovers a forgotten history of how racially explicit policies of federal, state, and local governments created the patterns of residential segregation that persist to this day. The Color of Law (http://epi.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ec2361f981a14ee1d45cccaa9&id=6892af4a5a&e=73ae589068) concludes that because residential segregation was created by government action in violation of the constitution, we are obligated to remedy it.
Harvard sociologist William Julius Wilson says Rothstein has presented what I consider to be the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation.
The New York Times Book Review says, While the road forward is far from clear, there is no better history of this troubled journey than The Color of Law.
Richard Rothstein is a research associate of the Economic Policy Institute, a fellow at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, and is a Senior Fellow at the Haas Institute for a Fair and Inclusive Society at UC Berkeley
This event is free and open to the public. You may share this invitation with others, but your and their RSVPs will help us prepare.
