The “Navigating Jim Crow: The Green Book and Oasis Spaces in North Carolina” traveling exhibit is officially up and on display at the Main Library in Newton through February 28. .

On loan from the NC African American Heritage Commission, this exhibit highlights a complex statewide network of business owners and Green Book sites that allowed African American communities to thrive, and that created “oasis spaces” for a variety of African American travelers. Eight vibrant panels feature images and the words of business owners, travelers, and historic and present-day images of North Carolina Green Book sites. This exhibit is free and open to the public during library operating hours (Monday through Thursday from 9 am to 8 pm and Friday through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm.).
