Safe Haven: Louisiana’s Green Book | LPB

LPB brings this digital-first series to broadcast as we explore the Louisiana businesses and places found in The Green Book. The guide made travel possible for African Americans during the Jim Crow era. The program is hosted by LPB’s Kara St. Cyr, who traveled across Louisiana visiting historically significant businesses and places, from Shreveport to New Orleans and points in between.

There is nothing like growing up as a child around Black bar/restaurant culture. 😊😊 I got unlimited Shirley Temples filled with maraschino cherries and cocktail peanuts by the pound! My grandmother's best friend lived over a bar and was a bartender. I can't begin to tell you how fun that was!

The older I'm getting i realize integration killed our communities. We absolutely needed fair and equal treatment but one has to think what could have been if we wouldve stayed separated 🤔
