Discover how the advent of the automobile brought new mobility and freedom for African Americans but also exposed them to discrimination and deadly violence, and how that history resonates today.

“Amazing work from PBS, all of the historians and speakers provide great context and personal stories. Really learned a lot about what Driving While Black means and how it pertains to our current society. Only critique is I wish the premise was comprised of shorter episodes similar to other documentary series and not a 2 hour movie. My recommendation watch it in two parts as the doc isnu0026#39;t a slog but is very rich. Left the doc with more knowledge and a question about my own entitlement.”
