In January of 2023, we first introduced you to a series of history stories surrounding the Green Book.
It was a special travel guide that helped African American families navigate cross-country travel during the 1930s to 1960s.
The Green Book was created by Victor Hugo Green, a Black postal worker in Harlem, New York. The book listed businesses that were safe and welcomed Black customers during those intense years of segregation.Christine Cooper-Rompato, researcher and English professor with Utah State University, shared background information on certain areas of downtown Salt Lake City where Green Book businesses once existed.
“And so originally I was surprised, I don’t think shocked necessarily because I thought, that’s a wonderful idea!” Rompato said. She’s included several USU students, who will help with researching the travel guides and the businesses listed in them.
