This week, we celebrate pioneers in Black Travel History. Our celebration discusses The Green Book (the Oscar winning movie vs. the documentary of a similar name vs. the ACTUAL Green Book that both the movie and documentary reference); the inventor of the yellow light; and the explorer that inspires Reyna the most!
