Green Book Travel Image

Mapping the Michigan Green Book explores the way Black Detroiters vacationed with a specific focus on Michigan sites found in the Negro Motorist Green Book. The exhibition will feature images and stories about leisure spaces like Idlewild, Woodlawn Park, and Covert, Michigan. Some of these leisure communities are still operational and provide the Black community with a safe place to vacation free from harassment, violence, and discrimination. 

Visit the exhibition in the Chase Gallery.
