What is the Green Book? A new exhibit from the Smithsonian Institute has made its way to the Illinois Holocaust Museum. It explores the Jim Crow era.
The Green Book was a travel guide published from 1936 to 1967, for African American families and individuals, letting them travel safely and with dignity during the Jim Crow era. The exhibit takes you on the journey.
One part of the exhibit lets you take an interactive driving tour during the 40s and 50s along two different routes, one using the Green Book and one without. The Sutherland Hotel at 47th Street and Drexel Boulevard, where Louis Armstrong performed, has been turned into luxury apartments.
