Join journalist Alvin Hall and photographer Jonathan Calm for a special presentation of their 2016 BBC Radio 4 documentary The Green Book, expanded and amended to include additional research, audio, and photographs.

Published from 1936 to 1967, Victor Hugo Green’s The Negro Motorist Green Book was a travel guide listing hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and more, that helped black road-trippers avoid the dangers, injustices, and racial violence of segregation during the Jim Crow era in America.

In their presentation of the documentary and other works at MAD, Hall and Calm will share additional audio and images collected during their road trip, as well as subsequent work and research exploring related subject matter. A slide-show presentation of Calm’s recent body of photographs, African-American Automobility: The Dangerous Freedom of the Open Road, will accompany the audio, and both Hall and Calm will participate in a post-presentation Q&A.

This program is presented in conjunction with the closing week of Unpacking the Green Book: Travel and Segregation in Jim Crow America (http://www.madmuseum.org/exhibition/unpacking-green-book) , a companion exhibition to Derrick Adams: Sanctuary (http://www.madmuseum.org/exhibition/derrick-adams-sanctuary) .
