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.
In THE COLOR OF LAW, Rothstein argues with exacting precision and fascinating insight how segregation in America the incessant kind that continues to dog our major cities and has contributed to so much recent social strife is the byproduct of explicit government policies at the local, state, and federal level.
WASHINGTON
Kristen Clarke, a longtime civil rights lawyer, was confirmed Tuesday by the Senate to lead the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, making her the first woman of color to formally serve in that post.
Clarke’s path to the job was a contentious one, with Democrats and Republicans sparring over her record and how aggressively she would seek to enforce civil rights laws and investigate police forces. The Senate largely voted along party lines, approving her nomination by a 51-48 vote. Sen. Susan Collins of Maine was the only Republican to join all Democrats and Independents in voting to confirm the 46-year-old.
