The essential travel guide for a segregated America

201952 min7.8 / 10

A historical documentary examining a crucial survival tool that enabled African-Americans to navigate a brutally segregated nation, grounded in the real injustice and resilience of the Jim Crow era.

In 1936, Victor H. Green (1892-1960) published The Negro Motorist Green Book, a book that was both a travel guide and a survival manual, to help African-Americans navigate safe those regions of the United States where segregation and Jim Crow laws were disgracefully applied.
