"Protesting with Rosa Parks details the long and winding history of the intersections between Black activism and travel. John K. Bollard recounts the experiences of more than ninety-five people who stood up against the oppressive legality of Jim Crow on stagecoaches, trains, streetcars, steamboats, buses, planes, and even elevators.
