In this edition of Entrepreneurial Appetite's Black Book Discussions, we partner with The Buddy Pass Podcast to bring you a  conversation with Mia Bay, Ph.D., author of Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance. Our special guest host is Leroy Adams, founder of the Buddy Pass Travel Brands.  About the Book: 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?Support the show

Later this month Lucy and Rob will co-lead an online workshop called Exploring a Quaker Commitment to Reparative Justice. It is sponsored by Pendle Hill Quaker Center in collaboration with the Woodbrooke Centre in Birmingham, England. We share an edited excerpt of the conversation.

Avis Wanda McClinton explains that “The goal of the project is to be a restorative, healing force that connects modern descendants with their enslaved ancestors, and to understand the lives of these first generations of ‘freemen.'” Last year Avis Wanda McClinton had a conversation with Martin Kelley, the senior editor of Friends Journal.

It is the story of a lost civilization: one that deserves to be lost but never forgotten. It tells the story of Black resistance to White repression, harassment, and tyranny. It tells about a subversive project: one that was designed to subvert Jim Crow but also contributed to the subversion of legal segregation and the denial of basic civil rights.  -Paul Buckley, Friends Journal book review Click Here to read a transcript of this episode.
