Description
You've heard the tales, you've watched the movie, but have you actually seen... The Green Book? For decades, the safest way for African Americans to navigate a segregated US was to rely on The Negro Motorist Green Book, an annual guide listing hotels, restaurants, and other businesses that would serve the Black customer. The few remaining copies are museum pieces... but now you can see the contents of four volumes from across the guide's thirty year history. See all the articles, all the show more ads, and all the listings of this key part of American travel history. show lessTags
