The Color of Law A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein (z-lib.org).epub

AUTHOR’S NOTE AND
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
FOR MOST of the last thirty years, I’ve had the privilege of association with
the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), which has supported development of
The Color of Law. The support was unwavering, even before it became
apparent to me, and to Lawrence Mishel, the president of EPI, that
residential racial segregation underlay much of the economic inequality that
EPI is dedicated to exposing. It is to Larry Mishel that I, and this book, owe
the greatest debt of gratitude.
Along with Larry Mishel, EPI’s communications department has ensured
that my previous books and articles, predicates for The Color of Law, got
the best editing, design, and distribution. When I didn’t know what a blog
was and stubbornly refused to learn, EPI’s communications director,
Elizabeth Rose, gently prodded me toward publishing my work more
informally, as well as in traditional ways. Without EPI’s support, this book
could not, and would not, have been written.
