Green Book (Libera)

"Green Book" (Libera) typically refers to the "Green Book," a travel guide published from 1936 to 1966 that provided African Americans with information on safe places to eat, stay, and refuel during segregation-era travel in the United States. It was a crucial resource for navigating discriminatory policies and finding welcoming establishments in a segregated society. The guide offered practical advice and highlighted businesses that accepted Black customers, promoting safer and more comfortable travel experiences for African Americans during a time of widespread racial inequality.
