Developed from a project by Anthony Kwame Harrison published in the Paris-based arts journal Dysfunction, White Reign explores racism in the United States through biography as well as personal reflection. Harrison looks at the legacy of James A. “Billboard” Jackson, an unrecognized progenitor of The Negro Motorist Green Book (“the Bible of Black travel during Jim Crow”) and reflects on his own very recent travels on the routes charted in that publication.
