In the six years since its initial publication, The Color of Law, which noted Sociologist William J. Wilson called “the most forceful argument ever published on how federal, state, and local governments gave rise to and reinforced neighborhood segregation,” has become a landmark work. With nearly one million copies sold, the book has helped to define the fractious age in which we live.

Aware that twenty-first-century segregation continues to entrench inequality, Richard Rothstein has now teamed with housing policy expert Leah Rothstein to write Just Action, a blueprint for citizens and community leaders throughout the nation concerned about what they can do to help create a fairer society. Leah Rothstein’s expertise in housing policy stems from more than two decades as a consultant to affordable housing developers and local governments, and as a community and union organizer.

Please join NFHA CEO Lisa Rice as she welcomes author Leah Rothstein and fair housing advocate Cashauna Hill for an empowering conversation. They will discuss strategies for supporters of the fair housing movement to advance their mission and challenge residential segregation to remedy America’s long history of unjust, race-based laws and policies.
