Just action : how to challenge segregation enacted under the color of law / Richard Rothstein and Leah Rothstein.
Twenty million Americans participated in racial justice demonstrations in 2020. Although many displayed "Black Lives Matter" window and lawn signs, few considered what could be done to redress inequality in their own communities. Page by page, Just Action offers programs that activists and their supporters can undertake in their communities to address historical inequities, providing bona fide answers, based on decades of study and experience, in a nation awash with speculative memes and internet theories. Often forced to respond to social and political outrage, banks, real estate agencies, and developers, among other institutions, have apologized for past actions. But their pledges to improve--some of them real, others thoroughly hollow--cannot compensate for existing damage. Just Action shows how community groups can press firms that imposed segregation to take responsibility for reversing the harm, creating victories that might finally challenge residential segregation and help remedy America's profoundly unconstitutional past. -- Provided by publisher.
