Bennett Yellin and Peter Farrelly talk about meeting each other in school and immediately connecting over their shared sense of humor. Bennett talks about substance abuse in college, while Peter discusses being a very hard driver at work. You talk about getting very lucky working with Eddie Murphy and David Zucker, and about bringing Bobby Farrelly into the group when they were writing movies together. Peter talks about being extremely loyal, living in Ojai, and never feeling like Los Angeles was really his town. Bennett talks about growing up in Beverly Hills in an Orthodox Jewish family. Peter tells a story about using the wrong knives while staying at Bennett's house because meat is not supposed to touch milk. Peter says he doesn't think Rotten Tomatoes is fair, and he also doesn't think criticism is very helpful. Bennett recently wrote a horror movie, Día de Muertos. Peter is a good audience member and wants everyone to contribute. Bennett knew everything about movies, while Peter knew almost nothing about them. Peter also has a very happy crew. Bio:  -Peter John Farrelly (born December 17, 1956) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer, and novelist. Along with his brother Bobby, the Farrelly brothers are best known for directing and producing quirky and romantic comedy films such as Dumb and Dumber, Shallow Hal, Me, Myself and Irene, There's Something About Mary, and the 2007 remake of The Heartbreak Kid. Farrelly solo-directed and co-wrote the comedy-drama Green Book (2018), which won the Audience Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018, the Golden Globe Award for Best Screenplay, and the Academy Awards for Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay. He has been married to Melinda Farrelly since December 31, 1996. They have two children. -Born and raised in Los Angeles, Bennett received his B.A. in Fiction from U.C.L.A.  Still not ready to enter the real world, he enrolled at UMass in Amherst for an M.F.A. in fiction.  It was there — on the first day of school — that he met and befriended Peter Farrelly.  On a lark, they tried writing a comedy together and this spec script ultimately got into the hands of Eddie Murphy and the Zucker Brothers, creators of Airplane and The Naked Gun.  Both Murphy and the Zuckers asked the duo to write movies for them, and their career was off and running. Yellin wrote exclusively with Peter for years until they asked his brother Bobby to join them.  The three went on to write a number of unproduced features together until they created Dumb and Dumber in 1994 and reunited in 2014 to co-write the official sequel chronicling the further idiotic adventures of Harry and Lloyd, Dumb and Dumber To. In 2007, the Farrelly Brothers branched out on their own and Yellin partnered with James Robert Johnson to create a professional writing duo that has endured for sixteen years.  Among the plethora of projects they've tackled during their career — some produced, others not — the two have co-written Let's Scare Jessica to Death for Paramount Pictures, the Fox situation comedy Unhitched, the direct-to-DVD thriller Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead, Paramount Pictures' Hotel For Dogs 2, the Anchor Bay action-thriller In the Blood with Gina Carano, the 20th Century Fox family film, Santa's Little Helper, and the Warner Brothers re-boot of the Police Academy series, Police Academy: Takin' it to the Streets.  More recently, Yellin and Johnston have co-written a live action family stage show adaptation of the hugely popular Angry Birds IP, and their original supernatural thriller Dia de Muertos has recently completed filming and is set to be released in 2026.

Welcome to Episode 89 of The Hidden History of Texas. After Sundown: The Hidden Geography of Fear in Texas Tonight, we're stepping onto a highway most history books barely mention. A road traveled in silence…A road traveled with caution…And sometimes, a road traveled in fear. This episode is called: “After Sundown: The Hidden Geography of Fear in Texas.” We're going to talk about Sundown Towns…The Green Book…And the hidden map Black Texans and Black travelers carried in their minds during the Jim Crow era. Now imagine this with me. The year is 1952. You've just crossed the Sabine River leaving Louisiana and entering Texas. The sun is beginning to sink low across the horizon. Your children are asleep in the back seat. Your gas gauge is dropping toward empty. And suddenly… you're nervous. Not because of bandits.Not because of weather.Not because of the road itself. You're afraid of where you might accidentally stop. Because there are towns ahead where being Black after dark could get you threatened… beaten… arrested… or worse. So before you ever left home, you packed something almost as important as gasoline. A small green book. Texas has always carried a larger-than-life image in the American imagination. Cowboys.Oil wells.Cattle drives.Wide-open skies.Frontier independence. But hidden beneath that mythology is another Texas. A Texas many people never experienced firsthand…and many others could never escape. For decades, scattered across this state and across America, were places known as Sundown Towns. Some had signs posted right at the city limits. Others didn't need signs at all. Everybody knew the rules. “Don't let the sun set on you here.” Now before we go further, let's talk about that little green book. The Negro Motorist Green Book was first published in 1936 by a Harlem postal worker named Victor H. Green. At first, it covered only New York City. But over time, it expanded across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and even Bermuda. Inside were lists of hotels, restaurants, tourist homes, gas stations, barber shops, beauty parlors, and businesses where Black travelers were welcome or at least safe. Safe. Think about that word. Today, most Americans choose a hotel based on price or reviews. Back then, Black families often chose places based on one simple question: “Will we survive the night?” The Green Book became known as “the bible of Black travel.” And it wasn't paranoia. It was necessity. Because across America, including Texas, there were towns where Black travelers knew not to stop after dark. So what exactly was a Sundown Town? A Sundown Town was a community that either formally or informally excluded minorities from remaining there after sunset. Most commonly, these policies targeted African Americans. But in some places, the hostility extended to Mexican Americans, Chinese Americans, Native Americans, Jews, Catholics, Mormons, almost anyone considered “outside” the community's idea of whiteness. Some towns passed ordinances. Others used intimidation. Violence.Threats.Economic pressure.Police harassment. And often, unwritten rules enforced the system more effectively than laws ever could. Maybe businesses mysteriously closed at sunset. Maybe hotels “had no vacancies.” Maybe gas stations refused service. Maybe local law enforcement simply escorted Black travelers to the city limits. The message was always understood. “You don't belong here.” Now many people think this was mostly a Deep South phenomenon. But Texas had its own long and painful history with Sundown Towns. Some communities openly embraced exclusion. Others quietly practiced it for generations. And some of those legacies still linger today. Take Alba. Small East Texas town.Population under five hundred. On the surface, it looks peaceful. But historically, Alba was founded as an all-white community. In the year 2000, it was still reported to be over 98 percent white. One local theory even claimed the town's name came from the Latin word for “white.” (note: the Latin word is album) Whether that story is fully true or not almost doesn't matter. Because the reputation itself tells us something important about how communities wanted to define themselves. Then there's Alvin. In 1933, a brutal axe murder shocked the community. When suspicion briefly turned toward a Black suspect, local newspapers reportedly noted that this seemed unlikely because “practically no negroes are allowed to live in Alvin.” Imagine reading that sentence in a newspaper today. Not whispered privately. Printed openly. As if exclusion itself were ordinary. Because at the time, in many places, it was. And perhaps one of the starkest examples comes from De Leon in Comanche County. In the late 1800s, Black residents were driven out after racial violence and lynchings. According to historical accounts, signs reportedly warned Black people not to let the sun set on them in town. And over time, the absence of Black residents became normalized. One Black resident interviewed decades later described growing up isolated… excluded from parties… unable to find anyone who understood her experience. That's one of the hidden costs of segregation people often forget. Not just physical danger. Isolation. Loneliness. The quiet message that you are permanently outside the community around you. But history is complicated. And not every Texas town stayed frozen in that past. Consider Killeen. In 1950, Killeen reportedly had no Black residents. But the growth of nearby Fort Hood, now known as Fort Cavazos and now back to Fort Hood, slowly changed the city's demographics. Black soldiers stationed there challenged old barriers simply by existing in large numbers. And by the 1960s, those barriers began to crack. Today, Killeen is one of the most diverse cities in Texas. That transformation reminds us something important: History is not destiny. Communities can change. But only when people are willing to confront the truth about where they've been. And then there's perhaps the most infamous modern example in Texas: Vidor. For decades, Vidor became nationally known for Ku Klux Klan activity and racial intimidation. Cross burnings.Marches.Threats. Even in the 1990s, not the 1890s but the 1990s, Black families moving into public housing faced bomb threats and harassment so severe some fled for their safety. Now it's important to say this carefully. A town is not permanently defined by its worst history. And many residents today reject those beliefs entirely. But understanding that this happened within living memory matters. Because sometimes Americans talk about segregation and racial terror as though it belongs to some ancient, distant era. It doesn't. Some of this history is only a generation or two behind us. Now there's another piece of this story we have to understand. The Green Book wasn't just about avoiding danger. It was also about building community. Inside its pages were Black-owned businesses…restaurants…tourist homes…beauty shops…service stations. It represented an entire parallel economy created because segregation left Black Americans excluded from so much of mainstream society. And in many ways, those businesses became lifelines. Places where travelers could finally exhale. Places where they didn't have to wonder whether they'd be humiliated… denied service… or attacked. The Green Book stopped publication in 1966, two years after the Civil Rights Act outlawed segregation in public accommodations. Legally, the world had changed. But culturally… well, culture often changes slower than laws. And some roads remained dangerous long after the signs came down. One of the challenges of studying this history is that many Sundown Towns never officially documented their policies. No ordinance.No paperwork.No public declaration. Just memory. Warnings passed from parent to child. Stories told quietly at kitchen tables. “Don't stop there.”“Keep driving.”“Make sure you have enough gas.” That hidden geography shaped how people traveled through Texas for generations. And unless you experienced it yourself, you may never have realized it existed. History often remembers the grand moments. The battles.The presidents.The famous speeches. But sometimes the most revealing truths are found in ordinary things. Like a family trying to find a motel before dark. Or a child asking why they can't stop in a certain town. Or a worn little green book folded into a glove compartment. Those quiet details tell us just as much about America as monuments and battlefields ever could. And maybe that's the real purpose of hidden history. Not to make people ashamed of the past. But to understand it honestly. Because history that remains buried has a strange way of repeating itself. But history that is remembered…examined…and understood… can become something else entirely. A warning. A lesson. And hopefully… a path forward. I'm Hank Wilson, and this has been Episode 89 of The Hidden History of Texas. Until next time…keep asking questions…keep digging deeper…and never stop looking beneath the surface of the stories we think we already know.

In this episode of the Agile Data Podcast, where host Shane Gibson sits down with Patrik Lager, a data integration expert with 25 years of experience and a lead developer of the Focal framework. In this episode, the conversation explores the intricate world of Focal data modeling and identity resolution. Patrik explains how the Focal framework operates as a highly abstract, metadata-driven engine that creates an extremely agile, non-destructive architecture. By focusing on understanding the business and using documentation to generate code, Focal ensures that your architecture and documentation are always perfectly in sync. The discussion also dives deep into the complexities of identity resolution, clarifying the crucial differences between stable “identities” (surrogate keys) and system-specific “identifiers”. Patrik breaks down how the Focal framework prevents key collisions and achieves seamless key integration across multiple source systems using a specialized identifier table. Whether you are curious about ensemble modeling techniques, how AI and metadata-driven automation are changing data engineering, or want to learn about the new Daana command-line interface (CLI) that makes implementing Focal easier than ever, this episode is packed with valuable insights for data professionals.   You can get in touch with Patrik via LinkedIn or over at https://daana.dev If you want want to read a summary generated with GenAI, head over to: https://agiledata.substack.com/i/196898093/google-notebooklm-briefing   If you want to download the transcript for the podcast, head over to: https://agiledata.substack.com/i/196898093/transcript   Listen to more podcasts on applying Agile Data patterns over at https://podcast.agiledata.io/ Read more on the Agile Data Way of Working over at https://AgileDataGuides.com/   If you just want to talk about making magic happen with agile and data you can connect with Shane @shagility on LinkedIn.   Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Spotify | Google Podcast  | Amazon Audible | TuneIn | iHeartRadio | PlayerFM | Listen Notes | Podchaser |  Deezer | Podcast Addict |  Buy the Green Book now!   Simply Magical Data Ways of Working

This week on Movie Mistrial, we take a road trip through music, prejudice, and unexpected friendship as we revisit Green Book.Green Book is an accessible, crowd-pleasing drama anchored by strong performances from Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. Their chemistry brings warmth, humor, and emotional weight to a story about personal growth, cultural barriers, and human connection, making the film widely appealing and emotionally engaging.Despite its success, Green Book has drawn criticism for simplifying complex racial issues and framing them through a familiar “feel-good” lens. Some argue the film centers a white perspective and softens historical realities, reducing systemic injustice to individual moments of prejudice and reconciliation.Join us as we unpack the charm, controversy, and cultural conversation surrounding Green Book. Is it an uplifting story of empathy and change—or a well-made film that plays it too safe with difficult subject matter?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

This week, we're stepping into the pages of the Negro Motorist Green Book. I am sharing my conversation with my good friend, Cynthia Jennings, who has been uncovering the stories behind the places that offered safety, dignity, and community during the era of segregation - but we're focusing on the women who made those spaces possible. Behind these listings were women entrepreneurs, caretakers, and revolutionaries, who opened their homes, ran businesses, and created networks of survival during a time when they weren't assured visibility and protection.

The guys ramble their way through 98 years of Oscars history (more or less), including some of the great moments in Academy Award history. One of the major tentpoles of the film industry, the Academy Awards, or the Oscars, is the premier award show of Hollywood and the English-speaking world's film industry. This year's Academy Awards, which will see the head-to-head matchup of major critical and audience successes Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another and Ryan Coogler's Sinners, will be held on March 15, 2026. As they dive into the Oscars as an institution, Patrick, Jon, and Ethan talk about some of the highs of the award show (Marissa Tomei, Parasite, and so on) and some of the… let's say less highs (Green Book, Crash, what have you). More importantly, they talk about a wide variety of Oscar-nominated movies and performances that were just really cool and really good (because honestly, that's what matters most). Towards the end of the conversation (and let's be honest, all throughout the episode), the guys talk about this year's nominations, including the new award for Casting, the record nominations earned by Sinners, and the interesting nominations (good and… less good) for the acting nominations this year. All-in-all, this episode is certainly a preview for this year's Academy Awards and a bit of a retrospective. Come in and enjoy as you listen to Patrick, Jon, and Ethan's opinions on film that will certainly not upset anyone we are sure!

Chariots of Fire marks when Oscar season bleeds into our new month all about racing movies! This movie won Best Picture in 1982, but Mike's dad said the movie was just about a bunch of guys racing. Is this movie based on a true story about how two guys brought glory to England through running in the Olympic games actually good? Or is this another Crash, Green Book, or Driving Miss Daisy.Don't forget to join our Discord for movie nights and additional podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The stakes feel especially high for this year's top Oscars prize.It feels like every few years there are two films that really set the tone for where American culture is headed. In 2017: it was Moonlight versus La La Land. In 2019: it was Green Book versus BlackKKlansman. And now, in 2026: it's Sinners versus One Battle After Another. And there's one question that host Brittany Luse has at the top of her mind: How do these films capture what it means to live in this moment? And how does the conversation surrounding them become so contentious? Host Brittany Luse is joined by Nadira Goffe, staff writer of culture at Slate, and Robert Daniels, associate editor at rogerebert.com to unpack the discourse taking the internet by storm.Interested in other episodes about cultural critique?

What does "best" actually mean when the Oscars put it on a ballot — and who gets to decide? Matthew sits down with Andy Nelson, co-founder of the TruStory FM family of podcasts, to pull apart the machinery of awards season: how guild voting shapes nominations, why campaigns matter as much as performances, and whether the whole system is rewarding craft or just rewarding whoever threw the better party.Before they get to Oscar strategy, they open with a timely and honest conversation about the BAFTA controversy involving John Davidson — an executive producer with Tourette's syndrome — and what the institution's response revealed about the difference between intent and harm. From there the conversation moves across category fraud (how films like The Favourite and Green Book gamed the lead vs. supporting divide), the impossible split between "Golden" from K-pop Demon Hunter and "I Lied to You" from Sinners as competing definitions of best song, and why genre films still fight for Oscar legitimacy decades after Star Wars got its first nomination.Andy ultimately defends award season as a cultural time capsule — imperfect, political, and very human, but still one of the best tools we have for asking: what did this moment in film actually mean?More about Andy | The Next Reel | Cinema Scope | Movies We Like**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, an Ethical Panda podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Let's march into the season of GREEN!  As the time change springs us forward, some of us are kicking and screaming while some are rejoicing, Kate and Sheila recap books with GREEN in the title. There's the obvious Green Eggs and Ham and Anne of Green Gables but we wanted to give a shoutout to some undervalued titles. The GREEN Ember series really can grow us not just as readers but as people!  It represents the battle of good vs evil and nudges us to do good. Loyalty, bravery and love are depicted in impactful ways inspiring readers to live with intention! Here is the link for the full episode of Green Ember.Ruth and the GREEN Book is a picture book that packs a powerful punch. It transports readers back to a turbulent time in our country's past and shows a solid solution for an unbelievably sad problem that many might not even realize existed.The Last GREEN Valley by Mark Sullivan takes readers back to March of 1944. Here's a quote that gives us something to think about before we complain about those windy days.“Emil (he's in a prison camp) had learned to cherish the wind. Even the thought of it blowing against his skin was enough for him to survive the nights.” After he got out…”He'd survived the worst that life could throw at him, and those trials had changed him, made him stronger and humbler and more aware of the power of dreams and the magic of life all around him. He appreciated every sunrise and every sunset and was grateful to the Almighty for every gift he was given in between.” This book will GROW you!!!Kate ended the podcast on a lighter note with one of her favorites from childhood, The One in the Middle is the GREEN Kangaroo. This small chapter book written by Judy Blume back in 1969 speaks to all those middle kids who might think they are underappreciated. She gives the middles a voice in a delightfully humorous way : )Let's GO GREEN and GROW as readers. Let's remember answers are closed rooms and questions are open windows that invite us in. Three simple questions to ask ourselves as we read: What does it say? What does it mean? What does it matter?Blessings!https://recapbookchat.com/Here's the Link for The Last Green Valley 

UNWATCHABLES kicks off Season 5 with our pre-Oscars special, where we ask the question: are these the worst Best Picture winners? Both of these films caused controversy when they unexpectedly took home the statue, and both happen to be white liberal filmmakers' attempts at healing racism in America. What could go wrong? We'll discuss the Oscars in general, why these films won, and if either of them is actually the most embarrassing movie ever celebrated by the Academy. The nominees are: Paul Haggis' 2004 ensemble drama CRASH, and Peter Farrelly's 2018 buddy road movie GREEN BOOK.Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus. Unwatchables Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/unwatchables⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discord: https://discord.gg/grrgTjspZInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/unwatchablespod/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/UnwatchablesPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.unwatchablespod.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email: unwatchablespodcast@gmail.com

Happy 2026, Vintage Sand fans! Thank you for taking time away from looking for real estate opportunities in Greenland to join us for Episodes 65 and 66, our first of 2026. Herein, Team Vintage Sand returns one last time to the source of some of our most popular episodes: Danny Peary's hard-to-find 1993 classic "Alternate Oscars". In the past, we have used Peary's model to approach the Best Picture Academy Awards from every decade going back to the 1930's. Collect them all! For this episode, we wrap up this series with the most recent complete decade, the 2010's. First, a caveat: we began this podcast eight years ago, in the spring of 2018, which means that we have already discussed many of today's films in a number of different contexts already. We did our Best of the Teens in early 2020, and recently did our Top 10 of the Century so far, wherein many of the films we're talking about today are contained. Add in that we did episodes on the best of 2018 and 2019, respectively, in those years, and you get the sense that we have already covered this ground several times. But like all good film fans, we're completists, so we conclude this series of episodes with these two, which will focus on 2010 to 2014 and 2015 to 2019 respectively. Mercifully, perhaps, these episodes are shorter than most others we've done, simply because, as mentioned, this is terrain we have covered several times already. The teens were clearly a transitional time for film, especially in Hollywood. The foreign market came to dominate, as did the teen market, which led to a kind of lowest common denominator for American film in these years. Throw in the uncertainties created by the rise of streaming and the changes in where and how people watch film, and you have…well, it's still a little too early to tell what the 2010's will look like to film historians, if there are indeed any film historians left. That being said, it's clear that the decade featured some of the greatest films ever made, ones that will stand the test of time and will continue to be watched long into the future. In many ways, the Mexican New Wavers dominated the decade, winning half of the Best Director Oscars for the whole decade: Del Toro for "Shape of Water", Cuarón for "Gravity" and "Roma", and Iñárritu for "Birdman" and "The Revenant". And of course, the stunning triumph of "Parasite" ended a decade in film that many were ready to write off (and got rid of the bad taste left behind by "Green Book" the previous year). It was also a decade that saw the arrival of some wildly innovative and talented filmmakers, among them Chloe Zhao, Ryan Coogler, Ava Duvernay, Jordan Peele, Greta Gerwig, Steve McQueen, and Damien Chazelle, plus amazing directors who transcended often marginalized genres like Ari Aster, Alex Garland, Robert Eggers and Denis Villeneuve. We also saw some great works from directors who came of age in the 90's and early 00's like David Fincher, the Coens, Spike Lee, Christopher Nolan, Todd Haynes and the Andersons, both Wes and PTA divisions. And for the icing on the cake, we got some brilliant work from the old guard Hollywood New Wavers like Martin Scorsese (who just seemed to pick up steam as the decade went on), Steven Spielberg, (at least with "Lincoln"), Terrence Malick and, most surprisingly, Paul Schrader. So make yourselves comfortable, have yourselves one of those lovely pastries from Mendl's, and join us for our final foray into the world of Best Picture Alternate Oscars!

Ohne das "Green Book" wird für Schwarze Familien jede Autofahrt zum Risiko. Der unscheinbare Reiseführer von 1936 weist ihnen den Weg zu sicheren Orten in einem streng getrennten Amerika. Von Veronika; Biermann Bock.

Award-winning composer Kris Bowers is the man behind the musical scores for films like Green Book, King Richard, The Color Purple, and The Wild Robot, as well as TV series like Bridgerton, Mrs. America, and Dear White People. His latest score is for the new animated movie Goat, which follows a small goat named Will who has big dreams about joining the pros to play roarball — a high-intensity sport that's a lot like basketball. Kris joins guest host Garvia Bailey to tell us how he brought some advice from the late Kobe Bryant to the project, why he wasn't worried about writing “serious film music,” and how this movie helped him honour his family roots.

We often spend days looking for one single thread that helps us unravel a story. It often takes even longer when the story is set on the South Side of Chicago. We look for publications, ads, cookbooks, letters, and anything else that would have documented that time period for even a glimpse into what life would be like. One thing that never fails us is the Negro Motroist Green Book. Published between 1936 and 1966, this guidebook offers a great lense into the life of Black Americans at the time. This week, we use the Green Book to trace the enduring legacy and community of Chicago's South Side.Sources: Purchase a copy of the Green Book https://www.smithsonianstore.com/negro-motorist-green-book-compendium-11198/?srsltid=AfmBOopZa2dgrORNstFqQ44PhsM7AKTb3Ed6UYyr68V6-Znp2fW1rKEx New York Public Library Digital Access to The Green Book https://libguides.nypl.org/greenbook/nypldigitalcollections Send a textSupport the showAlso, catch Dario on the new season of Netflix's "High On the Hog" here!!If you have anything you'd like us to talk about on the podcast, food or history, please email us at ⁠media@77flavorschi.com⁠ WATCH US ON YOUTUBE ⁠HERE⁠!

Before the civil rights movement forced America to change, Black Americans had to protect themselves on the road. Today on Trey's Table, we're talking about Victor GREEN—the man who created the Green Book, a survival guide that helped Black families travel safely through segregation. This is a story about ingenuity, dignity, and the quiet resistance that kept people alive. #treystable #blackpodcasts #blackhistory
