Given the current backlash against racism happening in South Carolina I was going to do a short post on this book but then discovered Jalopnik already did a way better job than I could back in 2011: so here’s a repost.
I first learned about this book because I was too cheap to pay for WiFi at Atlanta’s airport during a connection and ended up reading articles on the website of the Jimmy Carter presidential library which was free to access!
As a child of the eighties who grew up in Europe I was aware of the racism and segregation that had existed in the USA; but that this book was still necessary a mere 50 years ago was mind blowing and drove home the sheer level of it.

I’m guessing Ford didn't sponsor the Jewish travel guidebook.

Some impressive straddling of both the right and wrong side of history there

It is mindblowing zipfuel. More mindblowing is that a black person will still get pulled over in 2015 if the car they purchased cost over $50,000.
