A look inside the Green Book, which guided Black travelers through a segregated and hostile America
The guide s creator knew the racist dangers Black motorists faced in the 1940s through the 1960s and hoped one day his Green Books wouldn t be needed

For Black travelers driving across segregated America in the 40s, 50s and 60s, the Negro Motorist Green Book was more than a travel aid – it was a guide for keeping them safe.
The Green Book – named after its creator, not the color of its covers – was pocket-sized, about 5 by 7 inches, and published nearly every year from 1937 to 1966.

At a time when the simple act of traveling through the United States often put Black people in physical danger, “The Negro Motorist Green Book” was an essential guide to safe spaces.
Published by Victor Hugo Green annually from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book helped Black travelers in the Jim Crow period find hotels, restaurants, gas stations andother businesses that would serve them.
The Academy Award-winning movie Green Book renewed interest in the publication, which had ceased publishing after major civil rights legislation passed in the 1960s. Today, a new generation of authors are illuminating the heritage with new books and a podcast decades after Green s annual guide stopped publishing.
