The Green Book: Guide to Freedom

In the 1930s, Victor Green, an African-American postal worker from Harlem, released a publication that served both as a travel guide and a survival manual. Known as The Negro Motorist Green Book, this guide assisted African-Americans in finding safe routes across the United States, a resource that remained vital until the 1960s. Delve into the history of the country’s segregated safe havens and infamous “sundown towns,” and uncover narratives of hardship and humiliation alongside tales of opportunity and success.
