'We want to build a website that's like Yelp for inclusivity.'
The cover of the 1956 version of The Negro Travelers Green Book, which served as a segregation-era guide to hotels, restaurants and homes where Black travelers would be welcome.
"The Green Book was created so that Black motorists traveling in America, oftentimes with their family, could have a guide to make sure that they knew locations that were safe for them to stop at, and oftentimes not even just safe, but welcoming and wonderful, and you'd be embraced with open arms," Egli said.
The original"Green Book" stopped publishing a few years after the Civil Rights Act was passed in 1964. But Egli and McMullen Bushman say the need for a modern-day, digital"Green Book" is as vital in 2020 as it was in the era of legalized segregation. As an example, Egli said a business may not know they're losing customers who -- like her -- will simply leave a restaurant if there's a Confederate flag on display.
"If we show that a business has a track record, and that there are issues, then we can provide them with data and resources," McMullen Bushman said. "We want to meet you there and provide you with resources that will help."
