In the era of segregation, Black travelers faced many risks while on the road. The Negro Motorist Green Book was a vital tool that showed safe places where they could eat and rest without fear. Founded by Victor H. Green in 1936, this guide helped African American motorists find welcoming hotels, restaurants, and businesses from coast to coast. It was more than a directory; it was a lifeline during a difficult time in American history.
Learning about the Green Book helps us appreciate the resilience and resourcefulness of the Black community's past, and why creating safe spaces still matters today. 🚗 ✊🏾
