The History Center of Olmsted County’s recent exhibit, ‘Traveling While Black,’ outlined the challenges faced by black travelers in the fifties. The exhibit featured the ‘Green Book,’ the guide that listed establishments across the U.S. where Blacks could find lodging, places to eat, and purchase gasoline. It also lets visitors learn the impact of discrimination on Rochester and itsBlack residents through oral histories of Rochester residents who experienced discrimination. On Saturday, April 4, HealthCORE students Brianna Blue, Puja Chhetri, PaChia Moua, Chidiogo Orakwue, and Yula Tsering met with current and former Black members of the Rochester community.
