"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, as many establishments refused service to Black customers. The guide was created by Victor Hugo Green, a postal worker from Harlem, and became an essential resource for Black families on road trips. It highlighted businesses that welcomed African Americans, promoting a sense of community and safety during a time of widespread discrimination.
