This is one of those Nonfiction books that you pick up and reflect on for a while. I think this absolutely should be on everyone's core reading lists if they have any interest in systemic racism, US government and the history of segregation. From banks to HOAs to the IRS there is a long, tangible history of racially motivated provisions and decision making whose sole purpose was to further racial divide across this country. Without understanding systemic issues like this, you cannot come to the table ready to make change.
