PLAY SYNOPSIS
The Green Book Chronicles are back with its prequel in 1910. The Green Book Chronicles navigates modern audiences into the world where African Americans used a Black road directory called a Green Book to find safe travel accommodations in the US in the first half of the 20th century. The Greer Family begins their bed and breakfast journey amid growing concerns over racial violence in response to the Jack Johnson vs. Jim Jeffries (The Great White Hope) fight. The emergence of the NAACP, Boy Scouts, racial violence, and Women's Suffrage weave a story of how Black Folk were determined to push forward and dared to create a life and a culture all their own.
