The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein

challenging informative inspiring reflective slow-paced

4.25

The book does a great job outlining de jure (or, by law) segregation of African American/Black people in various policies created, enforced and practiced by the U.S. government and/or local governments. The book to me was very engaging the whole way through though it is detailed and deep and some may consider it dry. I think, for me, it was not dry because I spent time reflecting on the people impacted and so I thought of it somewhat of a sad story.
