The Trip

By: Herman Jasper

Narrated by: Herman Robinson

Willie Johnson takes his younger brother on a journey to escape a dangerous and racist sheriff. Along the way, the brothers contend with a life-and-death situation and meet Winnie who joins them on their journey. The Trip is based on stories told to the author by his father who was born in Savannah, Georgia, in 1919.

The story illustrates some of the prejudices and dangers confronting black families during this period of American history known as the Great Migration. Jasper writes a story of desperate flight, human trafficking, and revenge, intertwined with a story of redemption, found love, and dedication to family.
