The Color of Law
The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America is a 2017 book by Richard Rothstein on the history of racial segregation in the United States. The author contends that de jure segregation (explicit laws and policy) is responsible for contemporary discriminatory practices, not de facto segregation such as implicit prejudices.[1]
