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 1962 edition brings you the listings and advertisements aimed at the Black travelers trying to find their way across a country where they were so rarely welcome - plus travel advice on how to have fun while traveling, and what to see in new York City. Also available are facsimiles of the 1940, 1947, 1954, and 1963-1964 Green Books.
