Rothstein and Greene discussed the context of The Color of Law, as well as his new book Just Action, which shines light on what actions can be taken to truly redress segregation in this country.

The powerful public reaction to The Color of Law inspired Rothstein's current work, a guidebook for Americans seeking to redress and overcome this legacy. In his book, he argued that our segregated communities–and today's racial homeownership and wealth gaps–are the result of explicitly discriminatory government policies at the local, state, and federal levels. Richard Rothstein is the author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America, which spent 50 weeks on the New York Times best seller list. Orlando, FL (November 13, 2022) – Yesterday, Richard Rothstein, best-selling author and Distinguished Fellow at the Economic Policy Institute, was joined by Bryan Greene, Vice President of Policy Advocacy for the National Association of Realtors®, to discuss the past, present and future of equity in housing.
