In observance of World Social Justice Day, this episode of Big Blend Radio features Leah Rothstein, a veteran community organizer, local housing program expert, and co-author of "Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law" (Liveright: June 2023), which will be released in paperback on March 4, 2025. In 2017 Richard Rothstein wrote "The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America." The book has sold more than 1 million copies and started a revolution in the housing industry by explaining America's troubled housing situation.   Newly educated and informed communities across the nation began to take action.  As Richard toured the country educating local communities, the communities began reviewing their housing policies and initiating changes. Realizing direction was needed to help communities get started and move the process forward, Richard enlisted his daughter, Leah Rothstein, to co-author "Just Action."  "Just Action" provides concrete examples of what communities can do to improve local housing policies. Paired with an active "Just Action Substack" column, challenging segregated housing is happening across the nation. Visit: https://www.justactionbook.org/

Richard and Leah Rothstein join the podcast to discuss the history of government action that aided in the creation and enforcement of segregation in American Neighborhoods--and, importantly, what all citizens can do in their communities to undo those injustices.  Mr. Richard Rothstein is a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Policy Institute and a Senior Fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. He is the author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, which recovers a forgotten history of how federal, state, and local policy explicitly segregated metropolitan areas nationwide, creating racially homogenous neighborhoods in patterns that violate the Constitution and require remediation.  The book has almost 18,000 reviews and a 4.8 rating on Amazon. He is a graduate of Harvard University and previously served as the former national education columnist for The New York Times. Ms. Leah Rothstein also works on public policy and community change, from the grassroots to the halls of government. She led the Alameda County and San Francisco probation departments' research on reforming community corrections policy and practice to be focused on rehabilitation, not punishment. She has been a consultant to nonprofit housing developers, cities and counties, redevelopment agencies, and private firms on community development and affordable housing issues. Her policy work is informed by her years as a community organizer with PUEBLO and Californians for Justice, and as a labor organizer with the Union of Needletrades, Industrial, and Textile Employees (UNITE).  Their new book, Just Action, discusses local and community initiatives that all citizens can take to begin remedying the wrongs of the past.  Other Links: Just Action on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Just-Action-Challenge-Segregation-Enacted/dp/1324093242#customerReviews Just Action Book page with links and resources: https://www.justactionbook.org/

Leah Rothstein, author and activist, discusses her book Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law. Her father, Richard Rothstein, wrote the award-winning New York Times Bestseller The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America (2018)which Bill Gates named as one of his "Amazing Books" of the year. Rothstein challenges the notion, or myth as they would say,  that segregation in American society is accidental or a simple preference. He documents how legislation and lawmakers intentionally created the segregation we know today that has had adverse economic consequences for all Americans. Leah took her father's challenge to write a book filled with ideas about how we can encourage action toward justice and equality in our institutions and neighborhoods. Leah was the keynote speaker at the Greenline Housing event that addresses the wealth disparity in real estate that continues to this day.  SHOW NOTESGREENLINE HOUSING interview with Founder/Director Jasmine ShupperKen's SubstackSupport the show

One of the 4 Practices of Belonging is Advocacy. In the latest edition of the We Belong Here podcast, we are gracious to explore this topic in detail In 2017, Richard Rothstein published The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America. It clearly spelled out the non-accidental history of racial segregation in the United States. Upon finishing the book, Richard's daughter Leah Rothstein wondered what to do with this information. The answer? A new book published this past June called Just Action: How to Challenge Segregation Enacted Under the Color of Law. Listen to their origin stories, discussions about how change can happen more at the local level than the federal, the importance of Belonging in starting this advocacy work, and clear examples of communities who have already started to advocate for the removal and change of segregation-building laws and policies through relationships. Both authors confessed that they felt more hopeful about collective change upon finishing the research for this book. That should give us all hope that WE can create impactful changes to create the equitable and just world we want for all.

What if your banking choices could significantly reduce your carbon footprint?Welcome to a journey where we navigate the environmental and social impacts of banking. Inspired by Charlie Cummings of Walden Mutual Bank's profound comparison of an average American's carbon footprint to a lump sum in a bank account, we explore how your financial decisions can make a real difference. Drawing insights from our research and our experiences, we offer practical advice and resources for making responsible banking choices. Ever thought your banking practices could reflect your personal values? Find out how banking with credit unions and entities like Aspirations Bank can uplift local economies and communities. Aspirations Bank, a certified B Corp and a 1% for the planet member, exemplify how your debit card usage can actively offset your carbon footprint. We delve into the benefits of aligning your financial decisions with your convictions and explore how Conscious Coalition provides 10% cashback when we shop with certain businesses. Now, what if we told you ESG wasn't just three random letters but held the key to understanding banking's impact on the environment, people, and communities? Join us as we dissect ESG (Environment, Social, and Governance) and its relevance in banking. We discuss the disparities in banking, focusing on how communities of color have been historically denied wealth-building opportunities. To elucidate this, we take you through the history of Black-owned banks in the US and their commitment to their communities. Let's make sense of the past, challenge the present, and build a brighter future together!Quotes:"$125,000 in a bank account is equivalent to an entire year of the average American's carbon impact. So an entire year of eating, driving, flying, buying, etc. All those behaviors are the same as $125,000 parked in a bank account with one of the top five banks in the country. And the reason is because those same five institutions are the single largest funders of fossil fuel development in the world."- Charley Cummings“When 70% of African Americans don't have a bank branch in their neighborhood, it suggests to me that they are much further away from the American Dream.” - Kenneth Kelly, chairman and CEO of First Independence bank in Detroit Links: Aspiration Bank Conscience Coalition ListPlanet Protect by offsetting your fuelREI and Capital One PartnershipWhy we need Black-Owned BanksThe Black Businessman Who Built and Empire Despite Jim Crow OppressionOur Episode with PayActive from March 2022Books:Let Us Put Our Money Together: The Founding of America's First Black BanksThe Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated AmericaThings we didn't talk about but still helpful!ESG & B Corps Event Tickets,Dirigo Collective Website

This week: we give a final reminder about the picnic for non-believers on July 16th, we talk about Uri Geller, we discuss motives behind recent LGBTQA+ rights attacks, and we cover a petition from American Atheists' to protect the free speech rights of non-believers. The FFRF update includes the impeached ex-President's remarks about atheists. After a rant about a pastor's curious position on marital sex without consent, you can listen to a special conversation among four of our Filthy Monkey Brains. Don't miss their humorous discussion on a cringeworthy Supreme Court decision about religious exemptions at work, the implications of the Defense Bill Amendment, and a misguided request about CRT.

In this bonus episode, we are joined by a member of the NAR staff, Alexia Smokler, a staff executive to NAR's Fair Housing Policy Committee. That description does not begin to convey all the work that she does on our behalf and on behalf of the clients we serve. She has been key in developing the Bias Override class and Fairhaven.realtor. We are excited to discuss the programs she manages as well as learn what agents are doing in the marketplace, in this bonus episode!   [1:40] Monica welcomes and introduces Alexia Smokler, the Director of Fair Housing Policy and Programs for NAR.  [2:19] Alexia discusses several of the educational programs she delivers such as Fairhaven, implicit bias training, NAR's Fair Housing Champion award, and licensure reform efforts under the ACT Initiative, which NAR rolled out after the Newsday investigation in Long Island. [3:52] Monica asks Alexia for definitions of Fair Housing, DEI, and Implicit Bias. [8:18] Alexia discusses the difference between prejudice and discrimination. [8:50] It's important to distinguish that you can be engaging in discrimination without holding feelings of prejudice. This is discussed in the Implicit Bias course.  [13:06] Alexia describes the Bias Override course. The problem with mental shortcuts is when they're about people and they're based on stereotypes.  [16:57] The Bias Override course brings new terms to your mind. It helps you describe things you have felt and gives a name to it. Monica speaks of the trip she and her daughter took to Japan where there are not a lot of Westerners.  [19:02] Alexia ties Monica's Japan experience to the Bias Override course. She had the experience of being the minority and being the out-group.  [20:53] Alexia speaks of studies that show that discrimination shrinks the economy. The wealth they would have generated that would have created more jobs does not get created. [21:56] Morgan Stanley's study found that lending discrimination had kept five million people out of home ownership nationwide. [25:03] The wealth gap is not just attributable to differences in income. It's also because of the historical support of White people to become homeowners. [25:48] Alexia tells how the government involved itself in home ownership. They created the FHA which distributed loans according to redlining maps and most of the mortgages went to White people.  [26:54] Black GIs were not able to get mortgages from lenders. They didn't get to buy a house and pass that wealth down.  [28:53] Lending discrimination is a big problem and it's not just against People of Color. It's also against women and people with disabilities. Loan officers need more Fair Housing training. Monica cites the books The Sum of Us and The Color of Law. [31:30] In a couple of decades, we'll be a majority-minority country. There will be no one majority group. We need to be ready to serve different kinds of people or we will miss out. [32:56] Fairhaven.realtor is an interactive real estate simulation. You go into a fictional town and your task is to sell four homes in six months. You go through different scenarios where you encounter different kinds of discrimination taken from real Fair Housing cases or members' FAQs.  [43:09] The Fair Housing Champion Award was launched as part of the culture change around Fair Housing to celebrate people who are helping clients overcome historic barriers. Alexia discusses one applicant who stood out.  [49:28] Alexia's final word: What agents do is much more important than a transaction. It's about the wealth that's generated from a transaction that will impact generations.  [50:37] The minimum that agents can do is to keep the highest standard of compliance with the law and take training and classes. Alexia offers ideas on how to help make it better in your community. [53:04] All NAR certification and designation courses give you skills that help you level up your business so you can serve all your clients and your community better.    Tweetables:   “DEI supports Fair Housing. So, if we're inclusive, if we're diverse, and if we're open to different perspectives, then it naturally follows that we're going to treat consumers better because we have that lens on how we approach everybody.” — Alexia Smokler   “Once you start making those assumptions, you're down a dangerous road.” — Alexia Smokler   “Black folks earn 60% of the income that White people earn. But they have only about 12% of the wealth. … The average wealth of a White person [with] a high school education is higher than the wealth of a Black or Hispanic person who has a college education.” — Alexia Smokler   “Loan officers need more Fair Housing training.” — Alexia Smokler   Guest Links:   Alexia Smokler asmokler@nar.realtor Fair Housing Champions: https://www.nar.realtor/fair-housing/fair-housing-champion-award Bias Override Class: https://www.nar.realtor/fair-housing/bias-override-overcoming-barriers-to-fair-housing The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together, by Heather McGhee The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, by Richard Rothstein Long Island Divided   NAR Resource Links At Home With Diversity® Bias Override Class Fairhaven.REALTOR NAR's ACT! initiative   Additional Links:   Microcourses found at Learning.REALTOR.

We're kicking off Season 2 with a pair of episodes about Placemaking, how we design and consider creating environments for healthy thriving humans. In this first episode I talk with Bryan Bowen about the ins and outs of designing sustainable spaces for healthy, connected, thriving humans from a design perspective. Bryan Bowen is an architect, cohousing nerd, and sustainable community-based designer. Bryan grew up in a passive solar home in an artists' community at the foothills of the Sandia Mountains of New Mexico. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA with minors in art and anthropology, and has been a practicing architect for almost 25 years. He lived in Wild Sage Cohousing in Boulder, Colorado, with his wife and two boys for 18 years. Bryan loved life in cohousing and enjoys the simple benefits of community – friends right outside the front door, casual interactions, great food, and a rich life for his kiddos. His firm, Caddis, is a 20 year old multidisciplinary design collaborative that explores how we may live more lightly upon our earth in beautiful and healthy environments.  Caddis has become a well-respected national cohousing expert, creating beautiful, innovative, highly functioning communities. Bryan has served on the City of Boulder's Planning Board, the board of CohoUS, and now sits on the board of Better Boulder.

Grace Anderson is a dreamer, a builder, and a Black queer feminist who writes and imagines futures where choice is a human right. In this conversation we discuss why she loves to giggle and fly downhills on her bike, solo adventures in the outdoors, the importance of journaling, and learning that it's important to build what you're for and not what you're against. Faith and Grace also talk a lot about their identity as Black women, their journeys to develop and exude a strong pride specifically in that identity, and why it feels so important to them to continue to center Black women in so much of the work.

In this episode we welcome Matt Difanis and Robert Morris. April is Fair Housing Month, as people know, and we gratefully, as an organization, are getting more education and more awareness on the need for us to be more systemic, and more attentive, in order to provide excellent care to all who come to us. Matt Difanis and Robert Morris have been instrumental at the national level with course materials, ethics reconsiderations, and other conversations that are helping us pay more attention. They teachboth the At Home with Diversity course and Bias Overide. They are grateful to be sharing these classes and this information with our members. In this episode, they share their stories on what has led them to be so committed to getting the message of Fair Housing out to others.   Matt:  [1:40] Let me start by saying none of this was on my radar up until just a few years ago. [2:00] I had the privilege of serving as the 2018 President of the Illinois REALTORS® and that meant I was on the leadership teams starting in 2016. And 2017, the year I was President-Elect, Illinois, like a lot of other associations, including NAR, was prepping for 50-year Fair Housing Act retrospectives and commemorative activities. [2:20] As Illinois prepared, I got my first bit of exposure to the absolutely awful history of our industry's involvement in housing discrimination [2:59] So, I went from unaware to aware, not just of our history of housing discrimination but also the hangover effect that still exists. [5:09] And so when you look at people who make it through to leadershp, it's important to recognize, they've had to be the minority of the minority who were willing to just go find a battering ram and just find a way to break through it. [5:28] And then, I had the opportunity after my time on the Illinois REALTORS® leadership team, I had the opportunity to serve as the 2020 President of the NAR Pro Standards Committee. [5:46] We were doing things virtually. And George Floyd was murdered on viral video, and the country was on fire, and we had a proliferation of hate speech. [6:04] Because of numerous requests made to them, President Vince Malta kicked over a request to my committee to look and see if there was a possible code of ethics solution. [6:57] You don't get to be a REALTOR® and engage in bigoted hate speech anywhere. [7:17] That led to the opportunity to do speaking and training. So, it's a genuine passion of mine.   Robert: [9:23] “Now mine's a little bit different. As you guys know, I consider myself, maybe it's just my opinion, a Southern Gentleman, and I have been reared in the South my entire life. And so, as an American who happens to be Black, living in the South, it has always been an adventure. [10:28] So, my walk has been that way the whole time. I've gotten into this particular arena because I want to change hearts and minds. [10:59] And the other part is the fear factor that has always been associated with things that are different, things that people don't necessarily understand. [11:16] And so, my philosophy is that I meet people where they are because everybody's at a different stage, they've been exposed to different things, and depending on the culture that they've been reared in, depending on the influences that they've had. [11:38] One of the things I talk about is how culture affects us and that if we were reared in a culture by people that trusted us or by people we trusted and we loved, and they taught us things, based on their point of reference. [12:21] So I'd ask the question, “Why do you feel the way you feel about me if I have never done anything to you?” [13:06] So how are you going to respond now, based on what that is? So I think that discovery is important. [13:26] And my mission — and like Matt, I have been blessed to be exposed to tens of hundreds of people, to share thoughts with them. [12:53] So, in that walk that I've had, now for probably 20 years — that has been the mission, that I want people to have a better understanding of all of us and where we are, and just understanding that we are all just human beings. [14:41] I've never heard a person on a donor's list make that sort of request. They just want to live and we're more alike than we are different.   Monica: [15:33] And now you're talking about something that is even more near to you. I'll briefly share my story as well because I came into it very differently and my experience is more international. [16:05] When I got older, I went to New York City, and then, ultimately, I went to live overseas, in another culture. [16:38] I was looking around, looking at the way people were talking to me and treating me and the way they did things, and I said, “These people really do not view the world and think about things the same way I do. [17:09]  My mother was a Swedish immigrant. But the Swedish culture wasn't that different. It is kind of different from the Southern culture. But I'd always been in kind of a multicultural situation without realizing it. This really opened my eyes. [19:44] I call myself a hobby sociologist because I find so much of this fascinating. But then there came a time when I became more involved. [20:41] After seeing the memorial park in Tulsa,things opened up for me even more, and then, of course, the journey that Matt described about so many of the changes that happened in 2019 with the Newsday report (on housing discrimination). [22:22] People need to be exposed to different stories, and different journeys, and when they are… just like me, to grow and then finally find a place to speak what I had learned. [22:52] This journey has been fun in many respects. I feel very grateful to have had it. But isn't that the perspective that we all want to take, hopefully, when we go through something that's hard or different, that it changes us for the good?   Discussion: [23:57] Monica stresses Robert's point about fear and his question, “Have I caused you to feel that way? Has anybody actually caused you to feel that way in a personal engagement?” [24:36] People are not born prejudiced. In their formative years, they were taught it or observed it from the people that mattered the most to them. [30:18] Robert teaches that the construct has been put together for those who were in authority and power. Robert talks about meeting people where they are. The Fair Housing Act covers everyone. [34:10] They discuss equity and equality. [49:11] Robert says we need to revisit constructs that are not equitable, and that involves changing hearts and minds. [53:31] Robert explains the terms Black American and African American. [58:04] Matt shares two favorite books. [1:01:41] Matt's last words: Matt was very trepidatious about going into unfamiliar spaces where he was going to be the outlier. Most of White America don't take that opportunity. Matt invites you to seek out and enter unfamiliar spaces as a listener. [1:02:56] Robert says, with Dr. King, I'd love to get to a place where I'm not judged by the color of my skin but by the content of my character. In America, if you work hard, you should be able to experience the American Dream.         Tweetables:   “And then [I] looked at the lack of inclusion that I was oblivious to, but like in 2017, the Illinois REALTORS®Board of Directors, the whole board: 100% white and 68% male! Home to a city many of you have heard of, Chicago. We didn't look like the state at all!” — Matt   “It's not just about Black and White. There are a lot of different pieces to that puzzle.” — Robert   “We need to be able to give people targeted resources to offset structural disadvantages that we collectively as an industry inflicted on large swaths of our population.” — Matt   “As human beings, mindwise, you might say, ‘Yeah, it's bad, but I kind of like the gig I've got.' and … ‘I don't necessarily want to give up that.' That's human nature.” — Robert   “We're not that much different. … All of the things that you would want in your family are what all families would want. And hopefully, we can find a way as we travel this journey that we can become closer and better in those respects.” — Robert   Guest Links:   Robert Morris — Linkedin.com/in/robertmorrisseminars Harvard Implicit Bias Test — Project Implicit Implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/user/agg/blindspot/indexrk.htm   Matt Difanis Website — Mattdifanis.com The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, by Richard Rothstein Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson   The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together, by Heather McGhee   NAR Resource Links Nar.realtor/fair-housing Nar.realtor/fair-housing/fair-housing-compiled-resources Fairhaven.REALTOR   Additional Links:   Micro courses found at Learning.REALTOR.

He recently received the Tennessee REALTORS® Educator of the year award for the second time and served as President of the Middle Tennessee Association of REALTORS® from 2020‒2021.   Robert graduated from the NAR Leadership Academy in 2022 and serves as a NAR Director from Tennessee REALTORS® for 2022‒2024. He has also been inducted into the Real Estate Buyer's Agent Council (REBAC) Hall of Fame for 2022. Robert is an international speaker, certified instructor, and professional development consultant on the Dynamic Directions, Inc. team and he is committed to making a positive difference in the lives of every person he meets.   Matt Difanis Matt considers himself the world's most improbable DEI and fair housing evangelist. Matt served as the 2018 President of the 50,000 member Illinois REALTORS® trade organization. During his four years on the state leadership team, he went from unaware of any of these issues to aware, then concerned, and eventually outraged. In the last few years, he has developed a reputation for building bridges to historically marginalized groups that have been impacted by housing discrimination — particularly the Black community.   Matt served as the 2020 Chair of the National Association of REALTORS® Professional Standards Committee, which is charged with updating and interpreting the NAR Code of Ethics. During his time leading that group, he advanced a series of proposals that eventually became Standard of Practice 10-5 in the Code of Ethics — a ban on discriminatory hate speech by REALTORS®. That journey has landed Matt in the pages of The New York Times, in a Bloomberg Businessweek feature about housing discrimination, as a live guest on Bloomberg Quicktake, and as the exclusive guest for a full hour on the Tavis Smiley Show on KBLA in Los Angeles.   Matt is a full-time practitioner and multi-office broker-owner in Champaign, Illinois, where he leads a highly inclusive real estate team. On Sunday mornings, you can find him in the tech booth of Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church, a historically Black church, where he runs sound and the live stream, as well as doing volunteer photography.   Matt earned a bachelor's degree in psychology and his juris doctor from the University of Illinois.

Housing and school segregation are closely intertwined, yet the story of how that came to be is rarely taught. The students at EPIC Theatre Ensemble were commissioned to write a play about this topic through the EPIC Next Program. Through extensive research, starting with the Segregated by Design website (an exploration of Richard Rothstein's The Color of Law), and including interviews with over 30 stakeholders in education and housing, the students created Between The Lines, an original play exploring the connections between America's housing policies and educational segregation. They set out to answer the questions, how have we managed to parcel out privilege in a public school system that's supposed to be free and open to everyone? Their art serves both as an outlet for the shock they felt in learning this history, and also an invitation to deeper, more productive civic dialog about a topic that can often be fraught.  We are joined by student actor, Dilisima Vickers, and co-artistic director, Jim Wallert, to discuss how the show came to be, and what they learned through making it. We also share excerpts from the show, including an original song called Segregated by Design, Jane Crow Real Estate, and a game show called The Color Code.  LINKS: EpicTheaterEnsemble.org Trailer for Between The Lines S6E2 – EPIC's “Nothing About Us”: Youth Theater on Integration Citizen Artists: A Guide to Helping Young People Make Plays That Change the World Segregated by Design website The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America- by Richard Rothstein All Quiet on the Western Front Poverty, Race, and Research Action Council - the organization that commissioned Between the Lines Interview from PRRAC's Journal with Dilisima about Between the Lines Use these links or start at our Bookshop.org storefront to support local bookstores, and send a portion of the proceeds back to us.

The Book Report Series: Highlights of some very great books about American history. A list of books everyone should have in their libraries. The Color of Law is a groundbreaking investigation into how U.S. governments in the twentieth century deliberately imposed racial segregation on metropolitan areas nationwide. Richard Rothstein has painstakingly documented how our cities—from San Francisco to Boston—became so divided. Rothstein describes how federal, state, and local governments systematically imposed residential segregation: with undisguised racial zoning, public housing that purposefully served previously mixed communities, subsidies for builders to create whites—only suburbs, tax exemptions for prejudiced institutions, and support for violent resistance to African Americans in white neighborhoods. Rothstein demonstrates how police and prosecutors brutally upheld these standards, and how such policies still influence tragedies in places like Ferguson and Baltimore. With painstaking research, The Color of Law forces us to face the obligation to remedy our unconstitutional past. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jamaine-farmer-bey/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jamaine-farmer-bey/support

Show Notes:A New Chapter in Millennial Church Attendance: “Patterns of attendance among younger generations can be especially important—and perplexing—for pastors to understand, in their own church and at large. Barna Group has studied the intersection of faith and culture for nearly four decades, with an emphasis on generational trends. This article explores recent data to help church leaders ground themselves in the present reality of church attendance across generations—especially Millennials—in 2022.”The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated Americaby Richard Rothstein: “Richard Rothstein argues with exacting precision and fascinating insight how segregation in America—the incessant kind that continues to dog our major cities and has contributed to so much recent social strife—is the byproduct of explicit government policies at the local, state, and federal levels.”The Technological Society by Jacques Ellul: “Ellul offers a penetrating analysis of our technological civilization, showing how technology—which began innocuously enough as a servant of humankind—threatens to overthrow humanity itself in its ongoing creation of an environment that meets its own ends.”Nancy French's entertainment suggestion tweet thread: “In the French house, David and I love to watch series. Frequently, people ask what good shows we've watched, so I thought I'd start a list (and I'll keep adding to it) of some of the binge-worthy TV we've enjoyed.”Fasting: The Ancient Practices by Scot McKnight: “Christianity has traditionally been at odds with the human body. At times in the history of the church, Christians have viewed the body and physical desires as the enemy. Now, Scot McKnight, best-selling author of The Jesus Creed , reconnects the spiritual and the physical in the ancient discipline of fasting.”

In this episode, Nat and Sam discuss the first four chapters of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein...and it gets a bit heated.

We often associate historical discussions with the past which leads us to believe there are no impacts on the present. Sam and Natalie explain exactly why not everything historical is left in the past. The co-hosts dive into the history of zoning ordinances, exclusionary zoning, redlining, and unpack how these practices continue to impact folks today. Listen to get the full story!

The national teacher shortage is a serious problem. With the compounding effects of pandemic burnout, chronic underpayment, poor working conditions, violence in schools, and political activism causing teachers to leave the profession (or never enter in the first place), schools in all 50 states are scrambling to fill vacancies ahead of the 2022-2023 school year. STEM fields are experiencing the most intense shortages, with many districts offering stipends, moving cost vouchers, and fast-tracked certification pathways to attract new teaching talent. With many short-term fixes but little traction on future-thinking solutions to school funding models, school leaders and politicians are growing increasingly frustrated, as the U.S. continues to fall behind its peer nations in many education-related metrics.The Hill - Here's what's driving the nationwide teacher shortage By Adam Barnes | April 21, 2022ABC 15 - Republicans think they have an answer to help with Arizona's teacher shortage By: Mark PhillipsUniversities.com - Top 10 States with the Highest Teacher Shortages 2022 by Sarah HarrisAmerican School and University - Arizona no longer requires a college degree to begin teaching by Brooke JustNBC 4 - Beating burnout: Ohio lawmaker's plan to pull teachers from brink of resignation by: Maeve WalshBoston Herald - Teacher shortage: One-third of teachers say they're likely to quit this year by Marie SzaniszloEconomic Policy Institute - Teachers are paid almost 20% less than similar workersArizona Education AssociationOECD Data - Teachers' salariesOECD Data - Adult education levelThe Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America By Richard RothsteinBroken Horses: A Memoir By Brandi Carlile Follow 16:1 Podcast on InstagramFollow 16:1 Podcast on TwitterFollow 16:1 Podcast on Facebook

In this episode, Christopher and Maggie have a conversation with Maureen O'Connell, Associate Professor at LaSalle University. We discuss her book Undoing the Knots: Five Generations of American Catholic Anti-Blackness. We discuss how the white church, not just the Catholic Church, has been complicit in propogating anti-blackness and what we can do to undo those knots. We discuss how racism is baked into our society in its laws and customs. And we discuss how we as Christians can work towards justice.   Christopher and Maggie are spiritual directors that like talking about spiritual things. Spiritual direction is a listening ministry that creates a sacred space for you to listen to God, see where God is at work in your life, and grow in awareness of who you were created to be.

Special live episode talking about The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America by Richard Rothstein.

America might be 50 states (plus Puerto Rico) but it might as well be several small countries. The regional wars are real. Coastal elites, the Midwest, Bible Belt, southern states and the North East unbelievably fit into one nation. Still, we find ourselves divided. Understanding is needed about the people we are, the values we hold, and how geography informs our reality. Here's what's cool: America is often portrayed as red and blue, but purple is actually closer to the truth. We're more connected than we realize.

The United States is still reckoning with its history of racism. For a century after slavery ended, US businesses, banks, schools, and neighborhoods were segregated by race. It took a series of Supreme Court cases and acts of Congress to legally ban discrimination based on race, but discrimination isn't just a switch that can be turned from “on” to “off.” The legacy of these unfair laws still affect Black Americans today.One example of this is is a method of housing discrimination called “redlining”. It refers to the practice of banks and federal agencies denying loans for homes in neighborhoods deemed too “high risk”, which was often code for “not white.” This made it harder for Black Americans to buy homes, which made it harder to accrue generational wealth. As a result, Black Americans are more likely to live in neighborhoods with lower property values. And in a country where public schools are funded by property taxes, this is a difficult cycle to break. In effect, the United States is still segregated, but unofficially.Richard Rothstein has been studying this disparity for a long time. He wrote about it in his book The Color of Law. On this episode of UnTextbooked, producer Jonathan Dabel interviews Mr. Rothstein about the lasting effects of redlining on Black Americans.Book: The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated AmericaGuest: Richard Rothstein, PhD, Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Policy Institute and a Senior Fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.Producer: Jonathan DabelMusic: Silas Bohen and Coleman HamiltonEditors: Bethany Denton and Jeff Emtman

In this powerful episode, Laverne talks with Richard Rothstein, the author of The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America. Rothstein breaks down how the government implemented housing policies in order to segregate Black people primarily in the 1930s and 50s. Though many decades ago, the effects are as present as ever in the education gap, income gap, wealth gap, and “slums.” As violations of the Constitution, it is a requirement to correct past injustices. // INFO: New Movement to Redress Racial Segregation Email to Get Involved: carrie@nmrrs.org // Richard Rothstein is a Distinguished Fellow of the Economic Policy Institute and a Senior Fellow (emeritus) at the Thurgood Marshall Institute of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. // Please rate, review, subscribe and share The Laverne Cox Show with everyone you know.
