"WHAT'S YOUR PART IN THE REVOLUTION?": Phil Moore's Journey with "A New Green Book"

I had the opportunity to chat it up with Phil following the finale of the series about the origins of the show and what was the motivation behind curating content such as this. As I was blessed to be a part of the Atlanta leg of this production I was afforded the opportunity to experience Atlanta's Blackness in an immersive way. That was due to Phil's vision for the show, as the "Branded Development Lead" at Tastemade a position that he pretty much created and "fought for" was one of the determining factors for this show's genesis.

The Negro Motorist Green Book

The Negro Motorist Green Book was a travel guidebook for Black Americans during the Jim Crow era. It was created to help Black motorists find safe and welcoming places to eat, sleep, and refuel while traveling through the United States. The book was first published in 1936 by Victor Hugo Green, a Black postal worker from Harlem, New York, and continued to be published until 1967. The Green Book played a significant role in helping Black Americans navigate the treacherous landscape of racism, segregation, and discrimination during the Jim Crow era.
