Traveling While Black By Train #travel #education #blackstories #shorts | Segregation Scholarships
Black Americans, who pursued a post-baccalaureate education in the North, traveled by train to their respective colleges and universities from the South. But what they endured on the trains, and in the waiting rooms, would be considered a less than second-class citizen experience.
PREMIERING September 16: When Southern graduate schools were white-only, Black Americans were forced to pursue higher education in the North, only to return to help end segregation. The film highlights trailblazers and the role of education in transforming social conditions. A production of B Squared Communications in association with The WNET Group’s Chasing the Dream initiative.
