The Booker T. Motel was listed in the National Register on July 25, 2018 and is significant in African American history and commerce in Humboldt, Tennessee. Constructed in 1954, the motel and barbeque restaurant accommodated African Americans who were traveling from Memphis to Nashville. The motel had the distinction of being advertised in the Green Book and featured in Ebony magazine. The period of significance ends in 1970, when the owners, Alfred and Velva Pulliam sold the business. Mr. Pulliam was well known for his pit barbeque and special sauce sold in the motel’s restaurant and coffee shop.The motel’s barbeque restaurant was also one of the only places in the area where African-American guests did not have to enter through a segregated back door and is an important example of a Black-owned barbeque restaurant.
During this period accommodations for traveling African Americans were few and far between. Strategically, the motel was located near the intersection of U.S. Highways 79 and 70A in the midst of Humboldt’s business district. The establishment became one of the few places African Americans could stop and stay while traveling.Much of the early-twentieth century roadside history does not hold much for African-American travelers who, due to segregation nationwide, were forced to plan trips carefully as accommodations and even places to stop and eat could be hard or impossible to find. Up until 1964 and even later, African Americans feared traveling because of the possible dangers that awaited them on their route. Stopping to use the restroom or grabbing a bite to eat was out of the question. Meals had to be packed in ways so not to ruin and roadside restroom stops were very unpleasant. Finding motels they could stay in made travel for African Americans more enjoyable.
The Negro Travelers Green Book originated in New York by mail carrier Victor H. Green in 1937 to give African-American’s direction on where they could stop or stay along their route to avoid unwanted dangers.This book became a survival guide to direct those individuals to “havens” along their journey. In Tennessee, throughout the 1940s and into the 1950s, accommodations remained hard to find for African American travelers staying outside urban areas. In the 1942 Travel Guide of Negro Hotels and Guest Houses, there are only sixteen entries for the entire state. In the Green Book the complete Tennessee listing for 1949 takes up less than a page with 12 tourist homes and 16 hotels spread throughout the state. Opening in 1954, the Booker T. Motel was quickly a success because by May 1955, owners had added the second motel building bringing the motel up to fifteen rooms, and completed the coffee shop, restaurant, and beauty shop. Even after segregation ended and the ownership changed in 1970, the motel went on to house, feed, and entertain people in the town while retaining most of its integrity including the original motel room plan and barbeque restaurant building.

Built in 1913, Kern’s Bakery is locally significant for its historic significance in industry and commerce and its architectural significance as an industrial example of the Art Deco style. Its period of significance is from 1931 when the building was completed until 1967 during the height of Kern’s popularity. The facade retains a high degree of integrity retaining original materials and design. The rear and side elevations contain rear additions that date from the period of significance illustrating the success of the Kern’s brand as the factory expanded to increase production. The building overall exhibits a high level of integrity. Kern's Bakery became a Knoxville landmark and successful regional bakery business that expanded from Knoxville with other three other factory locations in Virginia and Kentucky and delivery routes spread through the southeast to Nashville, Atlanta and Greenville, SC. It was well known to Knoxville residents from its prominent location that also served as a retail store, and through its unique family-focused outreach to the Knoxville community. Bread was produced at the factory until 2012. The building is a muted version of the Art Deco style. It contains references to classical architecture with its symmetrical central bay and the modern with modest geometric detailing in the doors, transom, sidelights, and cut stone detailing.

"Why" is an entirely different conversation. Suffice it to say that Dave Ayer and I determined that the official hard hat for this years's "Floating Bridge of Dreams" wikiGong performance would be the 3M H-801V-UV model. Unfortunately, Amazon.com's process somehow went straight to hell on this order. To acquire two of the correct hard hats, I had to order a total of nine. Here are six, ready to be returned.
In fairness, we did eventually get the two we wanted. It was a good thing we did, too, because we were out of time and Amazon.com let me know that they would quit taking orders for this product until they straightened things out: a process I was told usually takes a week. Interestingly, nothing in their information systems seems to flag repeated returns of the same product, each one of which is handled by a different customer service representative on the other side of the planet. The "no further orders" response came after I filled out an online form and explicitly told them that seven of the first eight hard hats received were ringers.
