Chicago Black Travel

The train isn’t just for visiting places…it’s a connection to family history for travel writer Sojourner White. Come along for the ride as White travels to Chicago, stopping at the South Side Community Art Center and the Pullman Porter Museum as she learns more about the legacy of train travel in Black history and how her freedom of movement is linked to the sacrifices Black people made.
