Event

Join us for a book talk with MIA BAY, Roy F. and Jeanette P. Nichols Professor of American History at the University of Pennsylvania, about her book Traveling Black: Exploring a History of Race and Resistance.

The first comprehensive account of the African American experience on segregated transportation from the antebellum era to the present day, the book  Traveling Black is a chronicle of a people in motion over a more than century of transformative social and technological change, It highlights both the inequities of traveling black and African American struggles for freedom of movement, documenting a sustained fight for mobility that falls largely outside the organizational history of the Civil Rights movement.

This program includes a book signing. Books will be available for purchase following the talk and signing by the author.

This event is cosponsored by the Department of History.
