The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America

The color of law in America has been a contentious topic for far too long. From the early days of slavery to the present, our government's treatment of people of color has been marked by segregation and discrimination. In this book, The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, historian Thomas B. Foster reveals the shocking truth about how racial segregation was embedded in the very fabric of American society.

Foster takes us on a journey through the decades, from the forced relocation of Native Americans to the Jim Crow era, and explores how government policies and institutions perpetuated racism and inequality. With meticulous research and vivid storytelling, Foster exposes the dark underbelly of American history that has been ignored or downplayed for far too long.

Through The Color of Law, we see a disturbing picture of a nation where certain groups were systematically excluded from opportunities, denied basic rights, and subjected to violence and terror. It's time to confront this painful truth and work towards a more inclusive and equitable society.
