The Jim Crow Series: Traveling While Black

Traveling in Jim Crow America was met with annoyances, inconveniences, and dangers, if you were black. In this episode, I discuss laws that enforced segregation on public transportation, cars and what they symbolized, the Green Book, sundown towns, and the persistence and resilience of black Americans as they faced racism and discrimination while trying to enjoy their freedom. Mobility and autonomy in Jim Crow America were not available for everyone.
