In today’s podcast we are going to talk about housing segregation and how that impacts our lives to this day. I am honored to share this important interview with Richard Rothstein. Richard is A Distinguished Fellow of The Economic Policy Institute, and a Senior Fellow at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He is also the author of THE COLOR OF LAW: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America.
