About this event
Join a guided tour of The Negro Motorist Green Book, an exhibition developed by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with award-winning author, photographer and cultural documentarian, Candacy Taylor.
The exhibit offers an immersive look at the reality of travel for African Americans in mid-century America and how the annual guide served as an resource for the nation’s rising African American middle class and evidence of a vibrant business class.
DC Public Library docents, Susan Haight and Michael Thomas, will be our guides for the tour.
Meet in the Grand Hall on the first floor of the MLK Library.
15 are invited.
