More about the book

Focusing on travel by railroads, this edition highlights the historical context of the Negro Motorist Green Book, created by Victor Hugo Green during the Jim Crow era. It served as a vital resource for African American travelers, providing information on safe and welcoming establishments amidst widespread discrimination. Despite limited car ownership due to racial and economic barriers, the growing African American middle class sought to navigate the challenges of road travel. Green's guide expanded its reach across North America, reflecting the resilience and determination of its community.
