Boston Globe creates database of over 350 'Green Book' sites, highlighting places safe for Black travelers during segregation.

The Boston Globe has developed a database highlighting over 350 Green Book sites in New England, showing places where Black travelers were welcomed during segregation. The Green Book, active from 1936 to 1967, helped African-Americans find safe hotels, restaurants, and businesses. The project includes an interactive map and plans to continue adding stories about these historical locations, raising awareness of past struggles and preserving their memories.
