The exhibition, made possible through the support of Exxon Mobil Corporation, will be on view in Holocaust Museum Houston\u2019s Josef and Edith Mincberg Gallery September 1 through November 26, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The Negro Motorist Green Book will offer an immersive look at the reality of travel for African Americans in mid-century America and how the annual guide served as an indispensable resource for the nation\u2019s rising African American middle class. The exhibition will include artifacts from business signs and postcards to historic footage, images and firsthand accounts to convey not only the apprehension felt by African American travelers, but also the resilience, innovation and elegance of people choosing to live a full American existence. It will bring focus to a vibrant parallel world of African American businesses, the rise of the black leisure class in the United States and the important role The Green Book played in facilitating the second wave of the Great Migration.<\/p>\n<p>The Green Book was published and distributed nationwide until 1967, providing African American travelers with information on restaurants, gas stations, department stores and other businesses that welcomed black travelers. In an era of Jim Crow laws and \u201csundown towns\u201d\u2014communities that explicitly prohibited African Americans from staying overnight\u2014 The Green Book offered critical, life-saving information and sanctuary.<\/p>\n<p>The Negro Motorist Green Book was created by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with Candacy Taylor and made possible through the generous support of ExxonMobil.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb width=\u00bb100%\u00bb max_width=\u00bb100%\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb20px||0px||false|false\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/hmh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/smith.png\u00bb alt=\u00bbsmith\u00bb title_text=\u00bbsmith\u00bb align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00bbhttps:\/\/hmh.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/exxonmobil-logo1-1.jpg\u00bb alt=\u00bbexxonmobil logo1&#8243; title_text=\u00bbexxonmobil logo1&#8243; align=\u00bbcenter\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[et_pb_section fb_built=\u00bb1&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_row _builder_version=\u00bb4.21.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb width=\u00bb100%\u00bb max_width=\u00bb100%\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb0px||0px||false|false\u00bb locked=\u00bboff\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb4_4&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb][et_pb_code _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb module_class=\u00bbvideo_slide_code\u00bb hover_enabled=\u00bb0&#8243; sticky_enabled=\u00bb0&#8243; locked=\u00bboff\u00bb][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=\u00bb86455770-bee1-437e-a943-6f643df6ecc0&#8243;]The history of The Green Book, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[],"exhibitions_type":[],"tribe_events_cat":[162],"class_list":["post-50003","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry","tribe_events_cat-exposiciones"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/50003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/50003\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50003"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50003"},{"taxonomy":"exhibitions_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/exhibitions_type?post=50003"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hmh.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=50003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
