The Negro Motorist Green Book was a travel guide published from 1936 to 1966, designed to help African American travelers navigate the United States during the era of segregation. It provided information on safe places to eat, sleep, and refuel, highlighting businesses that welcomed Black customers. Created by Victor Hugo Green, the guide aimed to reduce the challenges and dangers faced by Black motorists on the road. It became an essential resource, promoting safe travel and fostering a sense of community among African Americans during a time of widespread discrimination.
