I remember being slightly traumatized by the explicit scenes of abuse and sex; at that time I had no framework for processing any racial issues. Reading this again as an adult was so much richer; although so much is still unfamiliar to me, I could appreciate the resilience, the clinging to life and relationships, and the grace that I found in Celie and Nettie’s stories.

Corrie Haffly on Instagram: "If you’ve seen any of my #corriereads posts this week, you know that The Color of Law fired me up! Unlike what high school textbooks say, racial inequity in housing and education is NOT because of “de facto segregation” (segregation by choice or tradition, e.g. Blacks chose not to live with whites) but because of “de jure segregation:” by LAW AND PUBLIC POLICY, created and enforced by police, policy makers, federal agencies, and judges: appraiser manuals saying to only give high ratings if no Blacks lived nearby, pressure from the Federal Housing Administration to keep new developments segregated, providing housing near wartime factories only for whites, zoning school boundary lines during the time of school segregation to force white and black families to move to be closer to their available schools, building freeways over black neighborhoods, zoning for industrial businesses and bars and dumps in/near black neighborhoods, turning a blind eye to the domestic terrorism of whites as they burned crosses, threw bricks, shot up, and bombed homes of Blacks who had dared to move into a white neighborhood... the 300+ pages meticulously researched by Richard Rothstein do not hold back the ugly reality of our nation’s efforts to oppress the opportunities of Blacks. Rothstein clearly connects the dots to show how this directly affects our wealth gap; whites who were able to purchase homes for $8,000 — $75,000 in today’s dollars which shows what a steal they were — sell today for $350,000. Over three generations, these families have gained more than $200,000 in wealth. Blacks in similar situations who were barred from owning homes, barred from living in public housing that was closer to places of employment, had to pay rent and commute farther. Living close to industrial pollutants = higher healthcare costs. Those who were able to try to buy homes got cheated with unfair contracts and exorbitant interest rates. In the cases when courts ruled in favor of Blacks, it’s true that “justice delayed was justice denied.” By the time a judgment was rendered, factories had closed, whites were already moving, or housing costs were unaffordable. Another must-read. Let’s do better." 8 likes, 3 comments - corriespondent on July 21, 2020: "If you’ve seen any of my #corriereads posts this week, you know that The Color of Law fired me up!

Corrie Haffly on Instagram: "Finished my second read of @jemartisby’s The Color of Compromise, and here are my really dense and not very pretty #sketchnotes (more notes, less sketch). And here is my #corriereads review! This book is kind of like a much shorter, less-detailed Stamped From the Beginning (by @ibramxk), with a focus on the complicity of the Christian church in slavery and racism in the US. I found that this book was really easy to read, but hard to take notes on! In the first chapter, Tisby writes that this is a historical survey to give breadth instead of depth so that you can see the historical patterns. His storytelling style was very effective for immersing me in the cultural waves of each period; most chapters sketched out the significant historical events and then pulled in Christian response and involvement. While heavily footnoted, the storytelling jumped around between dates enough that I gave up on trying to sketchnote a timeline and went to taking notes on chapters and major sections. Tisby’s work starts with the idea that Christian faith should necessarily reject racism, and he defines racism in the systemic, power + prejudice sense. And if that turns you off right away — keep reading, because you may start to see the patterns of how Christians came to resist the idea of systemic racism! He then does an incredible job of recounting historical events and cultural movements and showing the damning history of the primarily-white church’s complicity in supporting, promoting, ignoring, and allowing racism to persist in our country. Examples of the opposite are sadly few and far between. I don’t sense that Tisby’s purpose is not to shame the white Christian, however, but to demonstrate that each generation has the choice and opportunity to end racist policies and embrace and fight for the equality of Blacks. In that sense, I found his book a helpful resource for lament AND encouragement. I’ve posted some screenshots and commentary in other posts before this; you might also want to head over to Facebook to see a heavily-discussed post about one of the passages from this book because some of the comments are really thought-provoking!
