The American Constitution Society recently announced its support for a Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Commission (TRHT). This episode delves into why we need TRHT in the United States and uses housing segregation as a case study for how racism is baked into our laws and legal systems. Join Zinelle October, Dr. Gail Christopher, and Richard Rothstein for this discussion about how we achieve legal transformation and racial equity in this country.
