The Green Book: Guide to Freedom

In the 1930s, Victor Green, an African-American mailman from Harlem, released a publication that served both as a travel guide and a survival manual. Titled The Negro Motorist Green Book, it provided African-Americans with guidance for safe travel across the United States, a resource that remained vital until the 1960s. Delve into the history of the country’s segregated safe spaces and infamous “sundown towns,” and experience narratives of hardship and humiliation alongside those of hope and success.
