Green Book

Tony Vallelonga (or Tony the “Tony Lip”) Vallelonga in 1962 is looking for work during his club’s renovations. Don Shirley, an African-American classical pianist, offers Don a driver job for his concert tour through the Deep South. This is the most appealing offer. Tony is not thrilled to work for a black man but he accepts it and the pair begin their journey armed with The Negro Motorist Green Book. This guide will help them navigate America’s racist segregation. The snobbishly intelligent pianist and the pragmatic bouncer cannot get along due to their differing views on life. As they witness America’s obscene injustices, the two disparate individuals develop a mutual respect and begin to confront them together. They would develop a mutual respect and friendship that would transform their lives. –Kenneth Chisholm ([email protected])
