The Majestic Hotel was one of only five hotels in Cleveland listed in the 1956 Negro Travelers' Green Book, previously titled the Negro Motorist Green Book, which was designed to help African Americans find accommodations that would welcome their business during the Jim Crow era. Two "tourist homes," the YMCA, and three restaurants were also listed in Cleveland. With the exception of Mrs. Fannie Gilmer Tourist Home in Glenville, all other accommodations, including the Majestic, were located in the Cedar-Central neighborhood. | Date: 1956 | Source: Courtesy of USC South Caroliniana Library, University of South Carolina, Columbia, SCDownload Original File
