In the late 1930s when segregation was legal and Black Americans couldn't visit every establishment or travel everywhere they wanted to safely, a New Yorker named Victor Hugo Green decided to do something about it. Green wrote and published a guide that listed places where his fellow Black Americans could be safe in New York City. The guide sold like hot cakes! Soon customers started asking Green to make a guide to help them travel and vacation safely across the nation too. With the help of his mail carrier co-workers and the African American business community, Green's guide allowed millions of African Americans to travel safely and enjoy traveling across the nation. In the first picture book about the creation and distribution of The Green Book, author Keila Dawson and illustrator Alleanna Harris tell the story of the man behind it and how this travel guide opened the road for a safer, more equitable America."-- provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Green, Victor H. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American automobile drivers $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Automobile travel $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Segregation in transportation $z United States $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African Americans $x History $x History $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Social conditions $y 20th century $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a African American authors $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Travel writers $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Harris, Alleanna, $e illustrator. 941 $a 8 952 $l HQPD845 $d 20240516014935.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240202022107.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010023505.0 952 $l RFPC397 $d 20220705010409.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518024942.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722063939.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20210428012011.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210121010021.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4D4872765BB611EB8310A09745ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
