During Jim Crow, segregation made finding dignity and humanity as a Black traveler difficult. Holiday trips depended on safe lists of trusted, vetted establishments for Black people. Search the data on this important history:

One part of racial segregation missing from modern social science research is dehumanization. For example, Black people were not allowed into car dealerships, lest they touch the new cars. My uncle (colorfully) describes that here: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject #CommunityMap

The #GreenBookProject was bar-none the most meaningful research project I was a part of in 2025.
Excited for 2026. Looking forward to another year!
During Jim Crow, safety at hotels, restaurants, and gas stations was not guaranteed. Travel was inherently dangerous for Black Americans. Every route was planned with care. Trace the routes on the Green Book website: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject #CommunityMap #EconSky
From threats of violence to racially segregated restaurants to sundown towns, holiday travel required careful, deliberate planning from Black people. The Green Book project documents this history, and you can add your story as well: greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject #CommunityMap #EconSky
In a world of Sundown Towns where Black people weren’t allowed after nightfall, Green Book businesses were tiny spots of light. Traveling while Black was about survival. The Green Book Project documents that history:

The Green Book Project is best understood as memorializing the small number of businesses that respected Black customers. What was the usual way Black customers were treated? Listen to my uncle describe an ice cream parlor to see 1/3 greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject

All of the Green Book location data is easy to download and use from the #GreenBookProject by @trevondlogan.bsky.social
Visualizing #GreenBook locations relative to #SunDownTowns, tells a pretty striking story of mobility for Black families. In a post-Great Migration/Jim Crow era, a simple trip from Chicago to St. Louis is a harrowing trip.
