DESCRIPTION:BOOK TALK: Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the 
 Color of Law\n\nOctober 18, 2023 at 5:00 - 6:00pm discussion; 6:00 - 6:30pm 
 book signing\n\nRSVP: 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/richard-and-leah-rothstein-just-action-and-the-color-of-law-tickets-692063750307\n\nIn 
 The Color of Law, Richard Rothstein argued how explicit government 
 policies—at local, state, and federal levels—were designed to ensure 
 segregation throughout the United States. The book sold nearly one million 
 copies and was designated one of ten finalists on the National Book 
 Awards’ list for the best nonfiction book of 2017.\n\nSix years later, 
 Rothstein has followed his landmark work with Just Action: How To Challenge 
 Segregation Enacted Under The Color Of Law, co-authored with his daughter, 
 housing policy expert Leah Rothstein. Just Action is a blueprint for 
 concerned citizens and community leaders seeking to address segregation and 
 make real, lasting change in their own communities.\n\nJoin the Goldman 
 School of Public Policy, the Othering and Belonging Institute, and the 
 Berkeley Population Center for an important conversation—moderated by 
 Tomiquia Moss, founder and CEO of All Home—on activism, advocacy, 
 housing, and America’s legacy of state-sanctioned residential 
 segregation. \n\nSPEAKERS\n\nRichard Rothstein is the co-author of JUST 
 ACTION: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law and
