Celebrate the history and experiences of African American musicians, navigating segregation, while creating the foundation of Jazz, R&B and Soul. These were difficult and often dangerous times — even for renowned artists like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, Little Richard, and Sam Cooke.
Like many Black Americans, they relied on Victor Hugo Green's Negro Travelers' Green Book, a directory of lodging, restaurants, and services where African Americans were safe and welcomed. Green's growing "pamphlet" created a network of friends, family and fans... that became The Green Book.
