Montgomery Freedom Rides Museum
The Freedom Rides Museum will host “The Green Book: Navigating Jim Crow America” through Sunday, July 31. The exhibit focuses on the annual “Green Book” travel guide that catered to Black travelers during the 20th century. The exhibit highlights Alabama businesses and homes listed in the “Green Book” and emphasizes how the Freedom Rides and Civil Rights Act changed how Black Americans traveled. The Ben Moore Hotel in Montgomery and the A.G. Gaston Motel in Birmingham are two remaining “Green Book” sites in Alabama. The museum is at 210 South Court St. in Montgomery.
