The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein
5.0
All I can say is WOW!! I knew about redlining going into this, but I did not know the pervasiveness to which different levels of government participated in the de jure segregation of Black Americans.
There is a lot of statistics and some language considered dry, but just the sheer amount of evidence was so astonishing to read that it really kept my interest.
This book really provides a backdrop to what is happening today and provides so many answers and clarifications.
Every single American should read this book.
