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.
