The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How the Government Segregated America

May 2, 2019 at Deerfield Public Library

Program description:

Why, in 1959, was Deerfield segregated in the first place? Why is Chicagoland still so segregated?

Join Richard Rothstein, author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How the Government Segregated America, as he reveals how the fight to integrate Deerfield fits in with the larger history and legacy of housing discrimination. Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, makes clear that the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
