Americans have long regarded the freedom of travel a central tenet of citizenship. Yet, in America, freedom of movement has historically been a right reserved for whites. In this book, Elizabeth Stordeur Pryor shows that African Americans fought obstructions to their mobility over 100 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus.
