June 30, 2023 · 27 min
Route 66 is a long story that is still being told. The glory of The Mother Road endures with a resilience underscored by her responsiveness to movements of not only the countless people she has carried but also of turbulent American racial history. Joey Madia returns with tales of the Green Book and notorious “Sundown Towns” that once posed a menacing threat to African-Americans who traveled with the burden of bigotry in mind.
