I trust you're well. See the message below from Library of Congress Director for Preservation Jacob Nadal about HBCU Library Alliance Summer Intern Stephon Boykin! The internship project has such potential for our students and broader library community.
This is AMAZING!!!!!
Respectfully,
Sandra

Subject: The Green Book
Stephon, I wanted to let you know you've received a sort of immortality, with a mention in the Preservation Directorate Annual Report about the scanning of the two additional volumes of the Negro Motorist's Green Book. Your name will live for approximately 30 years in the Library of Congress archives before transfer to the National Archives and Records Administration for perpetuity!
