Equal Rights on Display

This blog has been a photojournalistic record of interesting places along the Great Loop to share with family and friends.  Politics certainly has not been a focus.  And, it is a topic that is often avoided in group conversation, more so now than in the past.  We came face-to-face with the topic of equal rights on display at multiple stops on the summer 2018 journey.  Those experiences call to be shared.

In the Gilmore Auto Museum, the cars are displayed with reference to the social times with fashion, important events, and period music playing.  Above, the display has a Buick, but the theme is the difficulty of travel by automobile in the United States during the Jim Crow era.

Throughout the US, the vast majority of gas stations, restaurants, and hotels would only serve white customers.  Often, the only opportunity that Black travelers had to get a meal or have a place to spend the night was in the home of another Black person.

To aide Black people traveling by car, Victor Green began publishing a book that listed the few establishments serving Blacks.  When first published in 1936, it was titled as the Negro Motorist Green Book.  The Esso Corporation help publish the book and sold it at some of their gas stations (kept under the counter, of course, to not offend their white customers.)

The places listed as a Tourist Home were not what a Bed and Breakfast is today.  It was a person's home where the owner would rent a couple of rooms to travelers with no other option for overnight housing.
