The Woman Preserving Black Travel History: Candacy Taylor & The Green Book #blackhistory #herstory
Candacy Taylor is one of the most important cultural documentarians of our time — and if you don’t know her name yet, this is your sign.
She’s driven over 50,000 miles, tracking down and preserving sites from The Negro Motorist Green Book — the guide that helped Black travelers navigate Jim Crow America with safety and dignity.
In this video, I break down her journey, impact, and why her work matters for all of us reclaiming our space in the world, especially Black travelers.
📚 Her mission isn’t just about history — it’s about memory, resistance, and visibility.
🎥 This episode is part of my docu-style series uplifting the untold stories of Black explorers, adventurers, and changemakers.
