To mark the closing week of Unpacking the Green Book: Travel and Segregation in Jim Crow America (http://www.madmuseum.org/exhibition/unpacking-green-book) , a companion exhibition to Derrick Adams: Sanctuary (http://www.madmuseum.org/exhibition/derrick-adams-sanctuary) , MAD will be hosting two programs (http://www.madmuseum.org/content/programs) delving deeper into the fascinating history of Victor Hugo Green’s legendary travel guide The Negro Motorist Green Book.

Commonly known as The Green Book, the publication (published from 1936 to 1967) was a travel guide listing hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and more, that helped black road-trippers avoid the dangers, injustices, and racial violence of segregation during the Jim Crow era in America. In an age of sundown towns, segregation, and the Civil Rights Movement, The Green Book became an indispensable tool for safe navigation.

Currently in production as a one-hour documentary, the film features over 30 live interviews conducted in six cities, stop-motion media, and animation segments that explore a range of personal experiences connected to this little-known Civil Rights–era story.

The film’s director, Becky Wible Searles, and Maira Liriano, Associate Chief Librarian for the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, will join Ramsey for a post-screening Q&A.
