SITES OF THE GREEN BOOK: THE THERESA HOTEL
Between 1936 and 1967, the Negro Motorist Green Book was the essential travel
guide for Black Americans who traveled outside of their community. In New York
City, the Green Book suggested a stay at the Theresa Hotel, called the “Waldorf
of Harlem.” Located down the street from the famed Apollo Theater, the white
brick, terra cotta, 300-room hotel frequently hosted the who’s who of Black
entertainment and intelligentsia. Learn about the history of the Theresa Hotel,

RESTORE THE JAMES RIVER AND
TAKE DOWN DOMINION ENERGY’S TOWERS
The Army Corps of Engineers unlawfully issued a permit for Dominion Energy to
build 17 electrical towers, some as tall as the Statue of Liberty, across the
James River near Jamestown, Virginia. The Army Corps failed to study the
alternatives proposed by an independent engineering firm retained by the
National Trust that avoids harm to cultural and natural resources. Instead, the
Army Corps has reaffirmed support for Dominion’s existing, harmful project.
Submit a public comment by February 10 to urge the Army Corps to conduct this
review process completely, impartially, and in service of the public interest.
