"In his best-selling book The Color of Law, Richard Rothstein demolished the de facto segregation myth that black and white Americans live separately by choice, providing ​“the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to the reinforced neighborhood segregation” (William Julius Wilson). This landmark work — through its nearly one million copies sold — has helped to define the fractious age in which we live.

The Color of Law​’s unrefuted account has become conventional wisdom. But how can we begin to undo segregation’s damage? ​“It’s rare for a writer to feel obligated to be so clear on solutions to the problems outlined in a previous book,” writes E. J. Dionne, yet Richard Rothstein — aware that twenty-first-century segregation continues to promote entrenched inequality — has done just that, teaming with housing policy expert Leah Rothstein to write Just Action, a blueprint for concerned citizens and community leaders." - Just Action Website
