The Musicians' Green Book: An Enduring Legacy
Our acclaimed historical documentary film and traveling road show The Musicians' Green Book: An Enduring Legacy celebrates the vibrant Jazz, R&B and Soul music of African American artists who created the foundation of modern American music while navigating the dangers of segregation.
During this era, renowned entertainers like Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald relied on Victor Hugo Green's travel guide to find safe lodging and welcoming venues, as well as an informal network of friends and fans who provided support on tour. These artists found refuge and honed their craft in vibrant Black neighborhoods and on the renowned "Chitlin' Circuit," performing in venues from Harlem's Apollo to Southern juke joints.
Featuring classic performances and candid interviews, the film honors the genius of these musicians who used their art as a uniting force and changed America with their songs.
