The Green Book: Traveling during Jim Crow
<p>How did
African Americans attempt to travel
safely in the United States during the age of Jim Crow?</p>
<p>This
Learning Lab investigates the question of African American travel during the
age of Jim Crow, and how the Green Book assisted by providing African American
a directory of welcoming hotels, motels, travel lodges, restaurants, gas
stations, and other facilities as they journeyed
throughout the United States. This Learning Lab employs the use of primary
source analysis of NMAAHC and other Smithsonian unit objects and outside media
clips to help answer this question.</p>
