Green Book Travelers, a Historypin Project to Collect Personal Histories of African Americans
A Session by Michael McUsic (Curator, Green Book Travelers)
About this Session
The Green Book Travelers project connects community members across generations by telling family stories about travels. A digital map of the Green Book travel guide serves as a story starter for African Americans who traveled during segregation. Their stories lead to a personal understanding of how segregation shaped the lives of everyday people. Storytelling brings the generalized concept of segregation down to a specific human level.
