Description:

The Negro Motorist Green Book, published by Victor H. Green in 1936, was an essential tool for African-American travelers during a time when segregation and Jim Crow laws dominated the American landscape. This guidebook offered more than just directions to safe destinations; it provided vital information on accommodations, restaurants, gas stations, and even beauty parlors that welcomed African-Americans with dignity and respect. Serving as both a travel companion and a survival manual, The Negro Motorist Green Book allowed its readers to explore the country without fear of facing prejudice or mistreatment. This insightful movie will take viewers on an emotional journey through the experiences of those who relied on this pioneering publication, offering a glimpse into a difficult chapter in American history while celebrating the resilience and determination of its subjects.
