And for those who did not obey them, the consequences were often brutal. Route 66 promised freedom and adventure. But for Black families traveling the Mother Road, the reality was shaped by danger and strict racial boundaries. To understand how deep those roots go, the story begins long before the highway opened. The origins trace back to the Compromise of 1877, the piece of legislation that pulled federal troops from the South and ended Reconstruction.
