Bonus: Two eyewitnesses to the Green Book

The Green Book, as it was commonly known, was the definitive guide for Black travelers seeking to, in the words of the guide’s creator, “travel without aggravations and embarrassments.” But what was it really like to use the Green Book as a traveling family? In this bonus episode of Driving the Green Book, host Alvin Hall and associate producer Janée Woods Weber talk with two women whose families used the guide and were eyewitnesses to the period of U.S. history covered in the podcast. Driving the Green Book is now a book, available from HarperOne !
