Author Reading | Hidden Figures Behind The Green Book


If you’ve seen the Oscar-winning film – and perhaps if you haven’t – then you already know the significance of The Green Book, an annual guide published from 1936-1966 detailing important safety information for traveling African Americans. Given pervasive racist Jim Crow Era practices ranging from refusal of service to outright danger of violence that affected black travelers, every year Victor Hugo Green and his wife Alma would compile listings of gas stations, lodgings, and other such service sites that would be welcoming to African Americans taking road trips across America, as well as indicating those that would not. But did you know that Mr. and Mrs. Green lived right here in the neighborhood? With this event you can learn about this and more, exploring the rich, painful, but deeply meaningful history and background of this important book. Playwright and author Calvin Alexander Ramsey was raised in the South and now lives in New York City. He is the author of the children’s book Ruth and The Green Book and the play The Green Book, as well as the documentary The Green Book Chronicles.
