The Lasting Effects of Segregated Housing

Episode 5245 | 18m 10s

The scars of racial discrimination on U.S. society are deep and lasting -- particularly in housing policy. Author Richard Rothstein believes that unconstitutional laws have stunted the wealth and success of African Americans for many generations. In his latest book "Just Action," written with his daughter Leah, Rothstein explores ways that communities might undo decades of legalized segregation.
