Description
"As a mail carrier, Victor Hugo Green traveled across New Jersey every day. But with Jim Crow laws enforcing segregation since the late 1800s, traveling as a black person in the US could be stressful, even dangerous. So in the 1930s, Victor created a guide -- The Negro Motorist Green-Book -- compiling information on where to go and what places to avoid so that black travelers could have a safe and pleasant time. While the Green Book started out small, over the years it became an expansive, invaluable resource for black people throughout the country -- all in the hopes that one day such a guide would no longer be needed." -- Provided by publisher.
