Making the Road: Crossing America’s Apartheid Lines

In line with the great inquiries into the formation of the U.S.A., beginning in the summer of 2021, Making the Road is expanding its offerings to political and cultural tours of the United States.

This tour will explore the makings of the industrial centers of the United States, and will confront issues of race, class, and gender as experienced by various racial/ethnic groupings and historical migrations in quest of work. Additionally, it will trace culture, music and food developed as forms of resistance to the ravages of industrial growth and demands (ie: blues, jazz, etc).
