Victor H. Green

This is a tough one to rate. 5 stars for importance socially, historically, and politically and as a reminder of how terribly African-Americans have been treated in the United States. 0 stars for this even having to exist...

"We earnestly believe "The Negro Motorist Green Book" will mean as much if not more to us as the A.A.A. means to the white race."

Horrible. Bravo to Mr. Victor H. Green for creating a guide to help people in such a hate-filled time. Boo to the short amount of listings in this guide. Only 48 pages in total, only 2 columns in my home state of California.

This isn't really a book to read, per se, as it is a listing of places to stay and eat. It is a book to think about, reflect on, and remember the ugly truth in U.S. history. As true in 1940 as it is today. Thank you Mr. Green!… (mehr)
