Description

<p dir="ltr">The <strong><a href= "https://transcription.si.edu/project/7955">Green Book</a></strong> was an annual guidebook for African America motorists during an era of widespread discrimination. Published from the mid-1930s through the mid-1960s, the Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gasoline stations and other sites that welcomed all travelers.</p> <p dir="ltr">Because sites across Indiana were included in most editions of the book that became known as the "bible of Black traveling", Hoosier History Live will explore them with a popular guide for Indiana history tours. <strong><a href= "https://www.npr.org/2021/05/06/993545876/i-fit-in-right-here-a-history-buff-leads-walking-tours-of-black-indianapolis">Sampson Levingston</a></strong> of <a href= "https://www.through2eyes.com/"><strong>Through2Eyes</strong></a> will be Nelson’s guest to share insights about the impact of The Green Book and about the Indiana sites, many of them long gone.</p>
