The history of The Green Book

Written By Green Book of Tampa Bay

Featured by WTSP, this piece highlighted the enduring legacy of the original Green Book—the mid-20th-century travel guide that helped Black travelers find safe, welcoming places in a segregated America—and connected it with how modern efforts like Green Book of Tampa Bay continue that spirit by supporting Black-owned businesses locally. The feature pairs historical context with contemporary relevance, showing why the idea of intentional economic and community navigation still matters today.
