I met this author at the Decatur Book Festival several years ago and was fascinated by the story. Students will listen to the book and also see two actual copies(reproductions) of the "Negro Travelers' Green Book. These books were used by African-Americans traveling through the United States to find friendly restaurants, gas stations, and accommodations. We will also view the New York Public Library's online version from 1937.
