The Conversation
I
n the summer of 2017, the NAACP
issued a travel advisory for the
state of Missouri.
Modeled after the internation-
al advisories issued by the U.S. State
Department, the NAACP statement
cautioned travelers of color about the
“looming danger” of discrimination,
harassment and violence at the hands
of Missouri law enforcement, busi-
nesses and citizens.
The civil rights organization’s ac-
tion had been partly prompted by the
state legislature’s passage of what the
NAACP called a “Jim Crow bill,” which
increased the burden of proof on those
bringing lawsuits alleging racial or
other forms of discrimination.
