Author Talk | Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance

Historian Mia Bay will discuss her latest book, winner of the Bancroft Prize. A riveting, character-rich account of racial segregation in America that reveals just how central travel restrictions were to the creation of Jim Crow laws—and why “traveling Black” has been at the heart of the quest for racial justice ever since.
