The Oklahoma History Center will screen the Smithsonian film The Green Book: Guide to Freedom on Saturday, February 22, from 1 to 3 p.m.
The Negro Motorist Green Book was a travel guide first printed in 1936, during the era of segregation. During the Jim Crow era, the Green Book was used by Black travelers to find restaurants, hotels, and other businesses that would welcome them without discrimination. It became a roadmap for safe passage within a then-segregated country.
The film screening and discussion is for ages 18 and older. The cost is included with admission to the Oklahoma History Center Museum.
