Rothstein plans on proving that segregation is de jure not de facto, began explaining the history of segregation in Virginia,
explaining the World War 2 boat manufacturing industry in the state and how worker compositions built up more and more black as Black people sought labor from the south with their lacking education, at the time government explicit segregation took place throughout the state.

Public Works Association projects “respected” racial segregation tendencies for the sake of “racial happiness” or “prosperity,” in the mid 20th century.
Presidents and the majority of any aspect of the federal or state US governments were just. Racist. Full stop. Damn!
Zoning, redlining, and other practices enforce segregation.
Hazard waste facilities in black neighborhoods specifically.
Damn!!!

Explicit government regulations made it impossible for black workers to get loans to actually get housing, World War II government restricted buildings civilian homes which is interesting, union of automotive workers forced Henry Ford to keep black workers even after the war ended, Black folks would drive hours to work there for the solid income. White flight -> blockbusting inflated house sales to desperate blacks.
