DENVER — History Colorado is spearheading a state-wide survey of Green Book sites with hopes of nominating several of the destinations to the State and National Registers of Historic Places.
'The Green Book': Jim Crow era travelers' guide had stops in Denver SHPO is now leading the charge to host community meetings and collect stories of travel from Black Americans to refine a list of 40 Green Book sites. It will nominate at least three of those sites to the National Register of Historic Places.
Terri Gentry, History Colorado's engagement manager for Black communities, said it is crucial for people to attend those meetings. "I think this project in particular — it's really important to talk to people that experienced this history because we're not talking, you know, hundreds of years ago. This was pretty recent," he said.
Eidman said it is vital for Colorado's inventory of historic places to better represent Coloradans whose histories were marginalized, obscured, or erased, especially because the vast majority of properties advertised in the Green Book have been lost or demolished.
