On July 17, 1935, actor #DiahannCarroll was born. Diahann Carroll was a trailblazer, who in the 1960s became the first African American woman to star in a television series.

The 1968 show, Julia, was seen as a landmark achievement for Black actors on television. #APeoplesJourney

Summer road trips weren't always so easy.

During the Jim Crow era, Black travelers were routinely denied access to basic services like gas, food, restrooms and lodging. Stopping in an unfamiliar place carried the risk of humiliation, threats, or worse. #APeoplesJourney
