JUST ACTION | Leah Rothstein

In 2017, the book "The Color of Law" hit the shelves and quickly went viral exposing how racial segregation in our communities is not a matter of personal choice, but a matter of government-enforced and funded mechanisms. As important as the book is, thousands of us asked, “What now? If this is the nature of the problem we face, how in the world do we move toward a more just and equitable future?” The answer to those pleas is now here! Richard and Leah Rothstein have teamed up to release the must-read follow-up entitled Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law. Listen in as Leah and Shawn discuss the long-term nature of community organizing and the importance of intentional efforts to perpetuate and sustain change.
