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.

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.
