Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law by Richard Rothstein, Leah Rothstein
3.0
This book is a great guidebook for activists. If you want a more equal and diverse neighborhood, this book has plenty of ideas for making it happen.
The challenges created by segregation are deeply-rooted. The authors point out (rightly so) that, “[a]s a society, we are always more sensitive to unfairness experienced by whites when it is designed to remedy unfairness experienced by blacks.” But redressing segregation starts with talking to our neighbors and getting to know their needs. Learning helps too, that’s what “The Color of Law” is for. But start by talking to your neighbors.
I was excited to see my town, Cleveland Heights, get a mention!
