February:

Magnolia House + a/movie, Friday Feb. 27

Enjoy a “Shoebox meal,” documentary, and Q&A with Magnolia House Greensboro. In its mid-century heyday, Magnolia House bed and breakfast was included in “The Negro Motorist Green Book” as a business friendly to traveling African Americans, and remains one of just four Green Book sites in North Carolina still in operation. (The Green Book was featured in the Best Picture Winner from 2019, featuring Acting winner Mahershala Ali). Magnolia House has hosted legendary guests including Tina Turner; James Brown; Ray Charles; and James Baldwin. From the 1930s through 1960s, many families packed meals in shoeboxes to travel, and Magnolia House has adopted this tradition with catered boxed meals featuring fried chicken, sandwiches, or vegetarian/vegan options. Your ticket will bring you admission to a/perture for a special film screening; a shoebox meal with your designated menu choice; and a chance to hear from the Magnolia House owner/operator, Natalie Pass-Miller, about its unique role in the history of our Triad and state.
