Green Book (The Green Book: Guide to Freedom)

"The Green Book," officially titled "The Negro Motorist Green Book," was a travel guide published annually from 1936 to 1966, helping African Americans navigate safely through the United States during segregation. It listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and other businesses that welcomed Black travelers, providing essential information on safe accommodation and services in a racially discriminatory era. The Green Book was a vital resource for Black mobility and independence, promoting safety and community support when many places refused service due to racial prejudice.
