Paper Trails: The Green Book A Survival Guide for Black Travelers in a Segregated America
"Paper Trails" is a YouTube playlist that uncovers the documented history of institutional racism in the U.S., spotlighting Census classifications and court rulings from 1850 to today. Through concise, evidence-based episodes, it reveals how laws and policies—like the 1790 Naturalization Act and cases such as United States v. Thind—systematically defined and enforced racial hierarchies. Explore primary sources that expose the shifting boundaries of "whiteness" and their lasting impact on ethnic groups, from Mexicans to Syrians. This series offers a clear, factual look at the paper trail of systemic inequity, urging viewers to confront its legacy.
