The Color of Law recounted how government at all levels created segregation. Just Action describes how we can begin to undo it. This book was chosen by the Berkeley Public Library’s Racial Justice Advisory Group (RJAG) as the second in a series of “all staff reads." Books will be available for sale at the event. At the end of the talk there will be a Q&A session. Please email your questions ahead of time to rbrown@berkeleyca.gov.
We will be giving away copies of the book at every library location starting Monday, 10/23. Available while supplies last.
This event will take place at the Black Repertory Group Theater, 3201 Adeline Street (about a 10 minute walk from the Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch and right next to Ashby BART).
