Option 1 Revisiting Lost History: The Raleigh Green Book Walking Tour

Downtown Raleigh, NC in the early 20th century was home to a number of spaces that made it safer for Black people living and traveling in the city. Most of these businesses were featured in the Negro Motorist Green Book but have been lost to time. Not any longer! Through an immersive learning experience led by Dr. Janelle Jennings-Alexander, WPU students researched and created a 45-minute walking tour that explores the vibrant Black businesses right around WPU that were a part of Raleigh’s pre-integration history. The tour will likely include a sweet treat along the way.

With the help of WPU students, you can now visit the past through this tour led by Dr. Chris Born and other WPU faculty. The tour covers around 1.5 miles.
