“This extraordinary book is a powerful addition to the history of travel segregation. Traveling Black reveals how travel discrimination transformed over time from segregated trains to buses and Uber rides. Mia Bay shows that Black mobility has always been a struggle.”
–Ibram X. Kendi, author of How to Be an Antiracist
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.
Why have white supremacists and Black activists been so focused on Black mobility? From Plessy v. Ferguson to #DrivingWhileBlack, African Americans have fought for over a century to move freely around the United States. Curious as to why so many cases contesting the doctrine of “separate but equal” involved trains and buses, Mia Bay went back to the sources with some basic questions: How did travel segregation begin? Why were so many of those who challenged it in court women? How did it move from one form of transport to another, and what was it like to be caught up in this web of contradictory rules?
From stagecoaches and trains to buses, cars, and planes, Traveling Black explores when, how, and why racial restrictions took shape and brilliantly portrays what it was like to live with them. “There is not in the world a more disgraceful denial of human brotherhood than the ‘Jim Crow’ car of the southern United States,” W. E. B. Du Bois famously declared. Bay unearths troves of supporting evidence, rescuing forgotten stories of undaunted passengers who made it back home despite being insulted, stranded, re-routed, or ignored.
Black travelers never stopped challenging these humiliations and insisting on justice in the courts. Traveling Black upends our understanding of Black resistance, documenting a sustained fight that falls outside the traditional boundaries of the civil rights movement. A masterpiece of scholarly and human insight, this book helps explain why the long, unfinished journey to racial equality so often takes place on the road.

So I guess that means slavery wasn’t so bad?

Lol. The famous racial segregation of Uber. The victim complex grows ever more desperate for new narratives, doesn’t it?

@Gordon: LOL, your white fear is hilarious to witness!! Please give us some more! LOL, you’re perfect!
One day you’re gonna lose your virginity and forget all about these atheist mexican muslim illegal immigrants and their transsexual buddhist female vegetarians who are out to get you… Wow, you guys are against just about everyone, aren’t you?? LOL

Bless. I see that mental dwarfism is alive and well, among the Leftists on this sub.
Nobody’s against anyone, just against the victim complex narrative. I know, you guys spend so much time hating other people that you imagine us all to be like you, we’re not.
We just want you to shut up and stop pushing propaganda. It’s really that simple and not very complicated.

@GordonCoon
Sure, just as soon as you do.
Oh, you mean all the frothing far-right “conservative” shït that gets posted on here isn’t propaganda? It’s “facts” is it? Ok. Nothing to do with just agreeing with your deep-seated cowardly prejudices.

@tenbeson, the “facts” of racially segregated Uber are? Of course, there aren’t any.
This is clown school and you have the biggest red nose and baggy trousers of them all, sadly, that’s not a compliment out in the real world.
You’re losing this culture war, even on here, because people have woken up to the endless lie, now. And you have no truth to share.
You’re just going to die as you lived, friendless and alone and dreaming of revenge on your betters.

@GordonCoon
Nah, I posit that it is you who will die alone and angry, having missed out on literally everything cool because nobody likes you.

Actually hilarious that you think NOT hating entire groups of people because their race makes you feel scared won’t give you a lonely life full of hatred leading to an early death.
But sure, NOT having these inherent and cowardly hatreds is going to make my life so much worse.
You literally just project don’t you.
