Richard Rothstein, author of
THE COLOR OF LAW: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, on June 8 from 11:30 to 12:30. The program is a natural follow up to CREW Chicago’s previous programs examining the long term impacts of redlining and Chicago’s history of predatory home contract sales.
