Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance

byMia Bay

Ferguson to #DrivingWhileBlack, African Americans have fought to move freely around the United States. The argument in Traveling Black develops through biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, attending to both broad patterns and the revealing details that resist them. That perspective connects the story of race and resistance to larger questions in biography & autobiography and history, without losing sight of the people living through the consequences. Rather than reducing its subject to a single lesson, Traveling Black preserves its contradictions and shows why they remain important.
