To honor Kezi\u2019s final wishes, Genny and Happi embark on a cross-country, Route 66 adventure following the 1948 edition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smithsonianmag.com\/smithsonian-institution\/history-green-book-african-american-travelers-180958506\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\"><em>The Negro Motorist Green Book<\/em><\/a>, a guide meant to keep Black road travelers safe.
