For three months, Holocaust Museum Houston is taking visitors back in time to an exhibit with ties to the city.
The ‘Negro Motorist Green Book’ exhibit gives a visual and hands-on look at a period when traveling as a Black person in the United States wasn’t always safe. It is a walk through one of the most troubling times in our nation’s history -- yet one that offers hope.
“This really was a guide that revolutionized travel and where, prior to this, travel could be dangerous,” said Hampton. “You didn’t know where you could stop and often were packing everything in your car to make just a 12, 13, 14-hour drive.” The exhibit’s premier sponsor is ExxonMobil -- a corporation with strong ties to the Green Book -- associated with its company Esso. ExxonMobil CEO and chairman Darren Woods was on hand for the exhibit’s opening.
“It means a lot to the company and frankly a lot of our employees,” said Woods. “A lot of our employees have family members who have personal experience with the Green Book.”
