AARP Ohio presents the Smithsonian Channel's, "The Green Book: Guide to Freedom," at the Columbus Museum of Art. Parking and event admission are FREE! *

Join us to hear from local historian Rita Fuller-Yates as she takes us on a historical tour and discussion about the Green Book, right from our seats! She'll share the book's connections to Central Ohio, before the movie was even a concept. Then, stay for movie treats and the beautifully told documentary takes a deeper look.

African Americans embraced the automobile and the promise of the open road, but they faced a world of danger driving to unfamiliar locales. This is the story of "The Negro Motorist Green Book," a travel guide to navigate the sometimes-treacherous highways of a segregated nation. See how it became a roadmap to some of the most significant people, successful businesses, and important milestones of the Civil Rights Movement.
