RICHARD ROTHSTEIN The Color of Law
Tuesday, April 17 at 7 PM
Join us for a fascinating discussion in which Richard Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, explodes the myth that America's cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation - that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies.
