Speaker Bio
Leah Rothstein is co-author, with Richard Rothstein, of Just Action, a sequel to The Color of Law. While in The Color of Law, Mr. Rothstein described how government policy created residential segregation, Just Action describes how local community groups can begin to redress the wrongs of segregation. Leah’s expertise in the full range of housing policy stems from more than two decades of experience as a community and union organizer and a consultant to housing developers, cities and counties, redevelopment agencies, and private firms on community development and affordable housing policy, practice, and finance. Since co-authoring Just Action, she has been to all regions of the country, speaking to community groups, real estate associations, congregations, civil rights organizations, universities, housing professionals, bankers, and others about how we can all take just action to redress segregation.
