OVERGROUND RAILROAD: The Green Book and the Roots of Black Travel in America

Published from 1936 to 1967, the Green Book was hailed as the "bible of Black travel." During the Jim Crow years and into the civil rights movement, travel for Black America was difficult and dangerous. This was the solution to a horrific problem. It listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations and more across the U.S. that were safe for Black people to patronize. Fully illustrated most in color.
