Abstract

As tourism begins to recapture the attention of Americans, Black travelers and those who stood with protesters of the Summer of 2020 want to see the response of the travel industry in action. While social media posts of support for the cause of social justice, travelers are looking for opportunities to learn more about the history of Black Americans and to support Black-owned businesses as well. Tariro Mzezewa provides information on what travelers are looking for, some notes of history on Black travel, and some statistics on what travelers are looking for as they head back out into the world.
