My wife and I chose this last name before starting our family.

SHAPIRO: So the basic argument of your book is that while racist individuals might have contributed to housing segregation in specific cases, there was an overwhelming amount of government policy at the state, local and federal level that explicitly forced black people to live in different places from white people. Rothstein's new book is called "The Color Of Law: A Forgotten History Of How Our Government Segregated America." Welcome to the program. Even today, black and white people generally don't live in the same neighborhoods. Today, schools remain largely segregated, and the author Richard Rothstein argues that's because housing is segregated.
