History should not be forgotten

Dear NCRC members and allies,
It is difficult to focus on our important work for economic justice when our hearts are in the streets protesting police violence and the murder of Black people.
But it is the same systemic racism that segregated Black communities from White. The system of oppression is a vast machine and a big piece of it is the federal, state and local policies that defined where Black people could live.
How did that happen? Join us next Tuesday, June 9, at 1 pm ET for an online event with Richard Rothstein, author of the groundbreaking book on the history of redlining, “The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America.”
This is another in our series of online events, Just Economy Sessions.

Richard Rothstein is a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Policy Institute and a Senior Fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. The Color of Law covers a forgotten history of how federal, state and local policy explicitly segregated metropolitan areas nationwide, creating racially homogenous neighborhoods in patterns that violate the Constitution and require remediation.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you online next Tuesday.
Team NCRC
