Black History Month will take place in February and a special discussion will be held along with the presentation of two different documentaries in Murfreesboro. One of the documentary films will focus on what was called the Green Book.
Margaret McKinley explains what the Green Book meant to African Americans in the 1930's and into the 1960's…
The Green Book was published from 1936 to 1966 by an African-American New York City mailman by the name of Victor Hugo Green.
Leroy Cunningham will further discuss the history of the Green Book on February 26th at Patterson Park Community Center.
Learn more about both films and discussions to be presented at Patterson Park on Feb. 12th and Feb. 26th below. Both events are free and open to the public.
