Exhibit showcases struggles and triumphs of Black travel

Season 2025 Episode 52 | 6m 11s

The “Negro Motorist Green Book,” a guide for African Americans first published in 1936, was a valued resource at a time when travel held the promise of adventure but was also perilous. It is now the subject of an exhibit showcasing the history, struggles and triumphs of Black travel in America. Communities correspondent Gabrielle Hays reports for our series, Race Matters.
