Traveling while black: The last room is always sold out 

"This is my America too" - Damn right.

I’m truly moved by these testimonies... thank you!

That hotel stuff was still happening in the1980's. When I was a little girl every summer my family would go on vacation. My parents liked Myrtle Beach, SC a lot because it was close to Charleston. For the first few years that I can remember my dad would call in a reservation to a hotel a few weeks in advance. But, when we got there they would say they were booked. So, it would take hours going from hotel to hotel before we could settle in and enjoy our vacation. To avoid that, my parents eventually bought time share on Myrtle Beach and we would spend two full weeks there during the summer until they decided to sell it.

May 11th 2019, day before mother's day. Store clerk refused me samples said I had to wait while she served other customers, all white. A gentleman spoke up, oh it's okay serve her first. She tossed a cup toward me not letting me pick my own. He took 2 and offered me the larger portion. she had a meltdown explaining she'd already given me one. I thanked him, waited till he walked away & dropped it in her trash. All the people still there just stood looking at her. I smiled, knowing she could only dream of being half the lady I am

And people think we're joking about sundown towns like black folks haven't been getting kidnapped and gone missing since the 30's....

Life is hard enough as it is. Why do we have to make it harder for people just because they look different.

This still happens in America in the work place

I believe his story at the end but why did the restaurant/diner have black records on it if they didn't serve blacks there? He said he walked away with the music playing.

Wow this must of sucked 50 years ago

The mental stress is unrelenting.

So sad anyone was ever treated like that.

Please put in closed captioning

I find all of this fascinating even though as a German, this American brand of racism isn't really part of my history. But there's many lessons to be learned from this for all future generations to come. Thanks to the speakers for sharing their stories.

Wow. These stories are so sad, but the least of the injustices Blacks face.

Wonder why utube didn't recommend this for me?

Ya like jazz?

The comments of these videos need to be turned off because some of you guys are ridiculous 😭

I’ve learned so much in this series than I did being in history class

I like the program but not the title it doest show it historical not modern

The world isn't fair, but the society as a whole is moving towards equality. Gender, sexual orientation, the definition of marriage, and even race... the list goes on. It is not a perfect world and far from fair, but it is getting better with time.

Mary and Joseph's Story, yall need to wake up why people really hated Jesus! Went to Egypt to fit in, see with your eyes...

You'd expect a Washington Post video to have CC.

What's trippy to think about is that the south is less racist than the north is today. Like in New York I heard a landlord didn't rent to a doctor just because he was black and the other landlords would attack him for it. Like that shit would never fly here in the south. That's just awful but I guess the reason it's progressed so much is because we're the most diverse region of the nation

Its a dishonest thing that the LGBT community does to compare themselves to our struggle. ..whose going through this like we did?

Leaving from a little more cultured part of America to a completely degraded Merica

Another video of how tough blacks had it...

What's with the lips..

Good old days...

I feel like all liberals should have to watch this to show them what it was like one generation ago and what real struggle feels like

Boo fuckin hoo!

The struggle is real. Ever for white people. Hello!!!

lie's

I’m a Trump supporter. I 👍 this video!

In my opinion, a true racist is one that uses skin color in any argument.

What's the point today? This was 50 years ago and America has been vastly improved....
