When I ask people if they know about “The Green Book” most folks reference the 2018 Academy Award winning movie. We can learn the real story at the Petersen Automobile exhibit THE NEGRO MOTORIST GREEN BOOK. This new exhibition looks at the reality of African American motorized travel during the Jim Crow Era in America.
The Green Book, first published in 1936 by Harlem postal worker Victor Green, listed businesses that would accept African Americans during segregation, documenting highways that could be safely traveled without the danger of physical harm and businesses that provided hotels and restaurants for people of color. The petersen.org has exhibition and ticket information.
