The WeGOJA Foundation is partnering with Hub City Press in Spartanburg and with the International African American Museum in Charleston to publish a print edition of the award-winning Green Book of South Carolina!

Originally published in 2008 and revised in 2012 and 2015, A Teacher’s Guide to African American Historic Sites has been updated to the 2020 South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for Social Studies. All of the lessons from the previous editions are included in this edition, plus six new lessons that center around the Green Book.

The WeGOJA Foundation is conducting a detailed survey of the extant buildings that once housed businesses listed in the Negro Motorists’ Green Book, a directory of safe places for traveling African Americans during the Jim Crow era. Roughly 200 Black-owned businesses and other institutions in South Carolina — like Ruth’s Beauty Parlor pictured above — were listed in the guide between 1939 and its final edition published in 1967.

The WeGOJA Foundation is developing an interactive virtual training program for K-12 educators to assist them in integrating African American history and culture in the classroom. The program will offer strategies, content, resources and activities to help teachers discuss challenging and difficult historical topics to students of all ages and backgrounds.

Black Carolinians Speak: Portraits of a Pandemic is an effort to record the experiences of African Americans in South Carolina as related to the Coronavirus pandemic.
