Description 1 online resource (70 minutes) Summary The automobile and the highway brought a promise of adventure, agency and self-expression to African Americans in particular. With powerful feelings, freighting hope and fraught of danger and anxiety, they resonate a still-relevant narrative of freedom, mobility, and race in America. Part Two celebrates Black entrepreneurship, introduces The Green Book, highway construction and its impact, the cruel reality of 'driving while Black' in contemporary society and the ongoing struggle for Civil Rights in America Notes Title from title screen (viewed September 16, 2022) "Race, space and mobility in America" In English Subject African Americans -- Travel -- History -- 20th century African American automobile drivers -- History -- 20th century African Americans -- Civil rights -- History -- 20th century Civil rights movements -- United States African Americans -- Segregation -- History -- 20th century Roads -- United States -- Design and construction -- History -- 20th century Racism -- United States -- History -- 20th century SUBJECT United States -- Race relations -- History -- 20th century Genre/Form Documentary television programs.
