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

While this book wasn’t the easiest read - particularly seeing how pervasive the segregation has been and how obvious it was - I feel like everyone should read it. It paints the tragic history of housing segregation so unflinchingly, but also in a way that is easy to follow and digest. Highly recommend - leave some time for reflection when you’re reading too.
Moderate: Hate crime, Racial slurs, Racism, Violence, Police brutality, and Classism
