Sociology / Unit 7 Soc 1072 short lesson, about 20 seconds
The Color Line, Applied
Captions available
The idea
Du Bois's color line names a persisting racial boundary in opportunity access, described by mechanisms in this unit's segregation and systemic-racism entries.
In practice
A segregation index measures how far the boundary reaches in housing; a hiring rule can enforce it in employment.
Where people slip
This introduces the color line as new content from Soc 0027's founder; it does not restate his biography or method.
