Title: The Negro Motorist Green-Book Pdf 1940 Facsimile Edition

In the segregated US of the mid-twentieth century, African-American travelers could have a hard time finding towns where they were legally allowed to stay at night and hotels, restaurants, and service stations willing to serve them. In 1936, Victor Hugo Green published the first annual volume of The Negro Motorist Green-Book, later renamed The Negro Travelers' Green Book. This facsimile of the 1940 edition brings you all the listings, articles, and advertisements aimed at the Black travelers trying to find their way across a country where they were so rarely welcome.Also available: The Negro Travelers' Green Book: 1954 Facsimile Edition

Imagine needing a travel guide to find a gas station that will serve you... Learn about the history of our country from the point of view of black citizens. Imagine needing a travel book to find businesses and homes that will sell to you or give you a meal or a bed for the night. I was shocked to see that my home city in Michigan had not a single listing. This piece of history really shows you how bad things were.A Welcome Reprint A welcome reprint of an important little book. Not exactly the type of book that you "read," but an interesting reference to show what it was like for black Americans in the first half of the 19th century. It's interesting and tragic to see how few businesses welcomed blacks, and how few large or major businesses are among the nationwide listings.Sad to say, but they may have to publish a 2019 version of this historic safety manuel As our country gradually devolves back to a darker time, such a pamphlet was necessary for black citizens to use as a guide to travel safely on our nation’s highways. It’s now 2018 , and such a book seems relavent again. Read this book and get a perspective to a time when our grandparents actually had to use a manuel like this just to make it to their chosen destination alive. So sad, but true.
