“Alvin - thank you for this gift. Thank you and your team for being a vehicle (yes pun) for keeping these culturally significant stories strong. I was grateful to listen after all the episodes had been released. Though I binged them, they fed my loins like one of mama’s slow cooked pot of greens. This series captured our history, humanity, dignity and pride and packaged it into a shoebox lunch for each of us to savor. Many of the stories and voices here shed light on our people’s culture and customs and why we move just the way we do. They acknowledge the cruelty our elders and ancestors faced yet victoriously lift our resilience and resolve to survive, knowing our children would see better days. As a cultural historian/ activist born in the south and raised in Iowa, this took me back to so many family road trips to Texas. Though the Green book was no longer printed by the time I was born, this podcast beautifully spins it’s symbolism to encompass our collective cultural safety nets, answers questions I didn’t know I had, and will continue to fuel my conversation and my work. Blessings! ~ Betty C. Andrews”

“I’m Asian American - born and raised in a Mesa, AZ. I was never taught in school this type of history, which I now feel robbed. To hear this podcast and people that used it is such an eye opener to American history that many of us were never taught. Our history is so whitewashed.”

“This podcast pays homage to our ancestors and those who still remember a time where blacks and other people of color had to be intentional and thoughtful about their travels. The experiences shared may leave some listeners sad and angry, but for me I have a deeper sense of community, strength,...”Read full review »
