"This book is a history of the modern American city, how it developed and how it came to play such an important role in our lives. It begins with a brief history of racial segregation as it existed before the mid-twentieth century and moves on to discuss issues such as housing, schools, and policing. But attention is devoted not just to what happened but also to why it happened."

Color has always been a subject of controversy in the United States. The government's use of color to divide its population has been a source of social and political tension for years. This audiobook, with an introduction by Elizabeth Alexander, tells the story of how federal policies created residential segregation in America.

The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America is a book written by Richard Rothstein and narrated by Adam Grupper. It's about the history of how our government created policies that were meant to help, but became discriminatory laws that actually perpetuated segregation for decades.

[Richard Rothstein] tells the story in a compelling way, using a timeline of events to illustrate how laws and policies moved our country from one that was free of racism to one where segregation became the law of the land.

Richard Rothstein's book is an insightful history of how our government has in recent times created racially segregated areas, such as the housing market, education, and neighborhoods. He argues that these policies were not conscious decisions made by individuals or even by a single group, but rather they were imposed on communities with the support of activist groups. These policies became permanent due to white flight to the suburbs after World War II.
