The historic Green Book has been a part of African American culture for over 60 years. Throughout that time, cinema, pop culture, and music were used to highlight the rich connection between entertainment and media. Below is a compilation of recommended programming to enjoy.

Green Book (Movie)

When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on “The Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans. Confronted with racism, danger—as well as unexpected humanity and humor—they are forced to set aside differences to survive and thrive on the journey of a lifetime.
