Summary
You might have heard of the Green Book, a guidebook that was widely circulated from the 1930s through the 1960s to help Black travelers find welcoming places across the country to stay, eat, and fill up their cars. But did you know that many of those locations were in New England? Emily Sweeney, a Boston Globe reporter, has documented and mapped more than 350 spots in this part of the country. She joined host Ed Fitzpatrick in 2025 to talk about what she uncovered. Tips and ideas? Email us at [email protected] .
