JUST ACTION DISCUSSION SERIES: Unwinding Segregation and its Impact

Immanuel’s Social Action & Mission Committee is helping Open Communities Alliance (OCA) sponsor and present a series of conversations featuring authors Leah Rothstein and Richard Rothstein,* known for his New York Times bestselling book, The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America. The Rothsteins will be joined by Cashauna Hill, the Executive Director of the Redress Movement, a new national organization dedicated to counteracting the history of segregation, including through supporting statewide efforts like those of OCA and its partners.

Using the historical framing of The Color of Law, Richard and Leah will discuss their new co-authored sequel, Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law, which offers tangible strategies to address segregation and racial injustice. Cashauna will share practical blueprints from all around the nation for effectively unwinding segregation and its impact.
