On the anniversary of Route 66 and The Green Book, Weekend Edition takes a road trip

This month marks the 100th anniversary of Route 66, America's historic highway that has symbolized freedom and adventure for generations. Coincidentally, it's also the 90th anniversary of The Green Book, a guide that helped Black travelers find safe places to rest and eat during a time of widespread racial discrimination. This Weekend Edition special explores the significance of these milestones, highlighting how Route 66 has transformed from a symbol of racial segregation to a modern-day emblem of inclusivity and freedom. It's a reminder of both the progress made and the ongoing journey toward equality.
