Book talk and discussion with historian Richard Rothstein, author of The Color of Law:

On September 12, 2017, Open Communities Alliance and its partners, including Yale Law School and Trinity College, are hosting a book talk and discussion with historian Richard Rothstein, author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, an examination of the government's central role in creating residential segregation.
Racial, ethnic, and economic residential segregation today is no accident, but rather the result of intentional government policies, such as redlining, enforcing racial covenants, discriminatory lending, and outright segregation in federal programs. These policies shaped our geographies and our lives -- and many still persist today in more subtle forms. Come learn with us & RSVP via the link below:
Sept. 12th from 6 to 8 PM
Book Talk and Panel Discussion
Yale University
Sterling Law Building
127 Wall Street
