In partnership with Cape May MAC (Museums+Arts+Culture), Cape May Stage is proud to present this special lecture event.

During the Jim Crow era, African American travelers heavily relied on an annual publication, the "Green Book", to navigate segregated areas, using it to find safe places like hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and even beauty salons that would serve them, essentially acting as a lifeline for safe travel across the country where they might face discrimination or danger due to their race. This presentation will provide a first-hand account of how the book served its purpose and uncovered even more discriminatory actions along the way. Presented by Cape May MAC in association with Chase Jackson.
