Summary:
As a mail carrier,
Victor
Hugo
Green
traveled across New Jersey every day. But with Jim Crow laws enforcing segregation since the late 1800s, traveling as a Black person in the US could be stressful, even dangerous. So in the 1930s,
Victor
created a guide--The Negro Motorist Green-Book--compiling information on where to go and what places to avoid so that Black travelers could have a safe and pleasant time. While the
Green
Book
started out small, over the years it became an expansive, invaluable resource for Black people throughout the country all in the hopes that one day such a guide would no longer be needed.
