Description
An award-winning broadcaster and educator presents his experiences following the path of African Americans who traveled the country during the age of segregation using The Green Book, a guide which helped Black people travel safely. He journeys from New York to Detroit to New Orleans, visiting motels, restaurants, and stores where Black Americans once found a friendly welcome. He gathers memories from some of the last living witnesses for whom the "Green Book" meant survival - remarkable people who not only endured but rose above the hate, building vibrant Black communities against incredible odds.
