Summary

Chronicling the history and personal experiences of African Americans on the road from the advent of the automobile through the seismic changes of the 1960s and beyond - Driving While Black explores the background of a phrase rooted in realities that have been a part of the African American experience for hundreds of years - told in part through the stories of the people who lived through it.
