Those of us who live in the United States have inherited the legacy of how race and racism have been constructed in this country historically, systematically, and pervasively.
Knowing our history is a good way to understand this legacy.
On this page, you will find a small sampling of U.S. laws, court decisions, and
other acts which lay some of the groundwork for constructing race as a hierarchy with white at the top.
This page also includes other resources related to understanding the construction of race and racism.
