Registration is on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 9:00 am.
Why, in 1959, was Deerfield segregated in the first place? Why is Chicagoland still so segregated?
Join Richard Rothstein, author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, as he reveals how the fight to integrate Deerfield fits in with the larger history and legacy of housing discrimination. Rothstein, a leading authority on housing policy, makes clear that the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.
Q&A will follow. Books will be available for purchase and signing.
