The Color of Law

5/5 - As a black woman, I always knew how segregation was designed against us, but hearing all of the supporting data behind it made it even more disturbing. It is disheartening to know that the laws of this land were designed to keep us at 2nd class citizenship status. Even though reading these books anger me, they must be read as I always need to be reminded of how we got here. Another thing that stuck out was St. Louis was brought up A LOT, to the point to where I had to see if the author was from the city; and they were not. I do appreciate the author giving suggestions on how to solve these issues, but that will never happen as all of this is working as designed.
