Just Action: An Evening with Richard Rothstein & Leah Rothstein 04/01/2024

From CVOEO:

Join the Vermont Human Rights Commission and Fair Housing Project of CVOEO for a special conversation with Richard Rothstein & Leah Rothstein, authors of Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law.

Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law is the groundbreaking new book that moves beyond the historical analysis of segregation as presented in Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, published in 2018. While The Color of Law showed how federal, state, and local governments created and reinforced neighborhood segregation, Just Action takes a bold step forward - offering practical strategies to tear down these systemic barriers.
