201- The Green Book redux

<p>The new film “Green Book” is rolling out across the country. I have not seen the film, so I can’t speak to its merits or shortcomings, but while people are possibly being introduced to the concept of the Green Book for the first time, we thought we’d re-release this story from a few years ago about the origin and significance of the Green Book: the Negro Motorists’ Travel Guide to the segregated US. </p> <p>As a special bonus to our story, we also have a Green Book story from Nate DiMeo of <a href="http://thememorypalace.us/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the memory palace</a>. Nate had coincidentally written his episode called “Open Road” and we both released them without having heard the other. I think hearing them one after the other is real treat. </p> <p><a href="https://99percentinvisible.org/?p=27546&amp;post_type=episode" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The Green Book</a></p> <p>Subscribe to the memory palace in <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-memory-palace/id299436963?mt=2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Apple Podcasts </a>or <a href="https://radiopublic.com/TheMemoryPalace" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Radio Public</a></p>
