For countless Americans, the open road has long been a place where dangers lurk. In the era of Jim Crow, Black travelers encountered locked doors, hostile police, and potentially violent encounters almost everywhere, in both the South and the North. From 1936 to 1967, millions relied on The Negro Motorist Green Book, the definitive guide to businesses where they could safely rest, eat, or sleep. Alvin Hall sets out to revisit the world of the Green Book and finds people who had endured the dramatic challenges of that time. With his friend Janée Woods Weber, he journeys from New York to Detroit to New Orleans, visiting motels, restaurants, and stores where Black Americans once found a friendly welcome. They explore landmarks, from the theaters and clubs where stars like Duke Ellington and Aretha Franklin performed to the Lorraine Motel where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated. Along the way, Hall recalls his own experiences, and together they gather 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. Driving the Green Book is a vital work of national history as well as a hopeful chronicle of Black resilience and resistance"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89607 Ha Checked out 05/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 305.89607 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89607 Hall Checked out 05/08/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89607 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89607 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 305.89607 Ha Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
