Where We Were Welcome: Chicago Through the Green Book
from 77 Flavors of Chicago · host Sara Faddah & Dario Durham
We often spend days looking for one single thread that helps us unravel a story. It often takes even longer when the story is set on the South Side of Chicago. We look for publications, ads, cookbooks, letters, and anything else that would have documented that time period for even a glimpse into what life would be like. One thing that never fails us is the Negro Motroist Green Book. Published between 1936 and 1966, this guidebook offers a great lense into the life of Black Americans at the time. This week, we use the Green Book to trace the enduring legacy and community of Chicago's South Side.Show Notes HereSend us Fan MailSupport the showIf you have anything you'd like us to talk about on the podcast, food or history, please email us at [email protected] US ON YOUTUBE HERE!Visit our *NEW* website https://www.77flavors.orgFollow us on IG:77 Flavors of Chicago @77flavorschiDario dariodurhamphotoSara @sarafaddah
