Summary

The Color of Law brilliantly recounted how government at all levels created segregation. Just Action describes how we can begin to undo itTwenty million Americans participated in racial justice demonstrations in 2020. But how can we begin to undo segregation's damage? The Rothsteins offer programs that activists and their supporters can undertake in their communities to address historical inequities. They show how community groups can press firms that imposed segregation to take responsibility for reversing the harm, creating victories that may help remedy America's unconstitutional past. -- adapted from jacket
