Explore the rich history of Black entrepreneurship through Victor Green's Negro Traveler’s Guide, commonly known as the Green Book. This presentation delves into the cultural significance of these locations during segregation. Using genealogical records and techniques, we aim to uncover, document, and preserve the stories of these historical sites and the people behind them. Learn about our research methods, preservation techniques, and the importance of maintaining this legacy for future generations. Join us in bringing these important pieces of history to life.
