Mapping the Michigan Green Book

Inspired by The Negro Motorist Green Book, this exhibition explored the way Black Detroiters vacationed with a specific focus on Michigan.

Mapping the Michigan Green Book examined the way Black Detroiters vacationed with a specific focus on Michigan sites found in The Negro Motorist Green Book. The exhibition featured 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.
