This edition of "The Negro Motorist Green-Book" offers a comprehensive look at the listings, articles, and advertisements designed specifically for African-American travelers. The guide includes essential information about which towns, hotels, restaurants, and service stations would accommodate Black travelers during a time when racial segregation was prevalent.
