Consisting of almost 30 editions published between 1936 a nd 1967\, the "Green Book" facilitated safe travel by Black travelers thr ough hostile areas of the United States. It provided escape from harassme nt and potential violence instigated by unwelcoming shopkeepers and patro ns. As a toll of resistance\, the many editions of the "Green Book" provi de a kind of road map that can reveal Black geographies previously forgot ten by hegemonic knowledge structures.\n\n\nThis presentation addresses t his gap by understanding how the text of the "Green Book" can be read thr ough the epistemologies of Black geographies and critical geographic info rmation science (GIS science). By comparing the spatial data of the "Gree n Book" to historical data\, trends in urban neighborhood composition can help understand how Black travel patterns shifted during the Jim Crow er a. Furthermore\, such mapping reveals the complex networks of spaces deve loped by Black Americans to live within a segregationist society while ac tively resisting discrimination through the construction of counter-publi c spaces. \n\n\nBottone is an assistant professor of geography and the as sistant chair\, Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at Northwest Missouri State University. He received his PhD from the University of Te nnessee\, where his dissertation focused on the intersections of race\, m obility and travel. Currently\, his research explores multiple aspects of just and sustainable tourism\, including a forthcoming chapter investiga ting the affective atmospheres present at the Titanic Museum attraction i n Pigeon Forge\, Tennessee.   X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><head><title></title></head><body><p>Pr esented: Dr. Ethan Bottone\, Northwest Missouri State University</p>\n<p> The "Green Book\," a Jim Crow era travel guide created by Black Americans for Black Americans\, has received much recent popular and academic scru tiny.
