Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes it clear that it was de jure segregation -- the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments -- that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day."--Jacket Holds:  1   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Item type Status Due Date   Central Library Adult Black Nonfiction 305.800973 R847c Adult books Checked in   Add Copy to MyList Central Library Adult Black Nonfiction 305.800973 R847c Adult books Checked out Jul 29, 2024 Add Copy to MyList
