Más información sobre el libro

Originating during the era of Jim Crow laws, this guide was created by Victor Hugo Green to assist African American travelers facing discrimination on the road. It served as an essential resource, listing services and accommodations that welcomed Black motorists, expanding from New York to much of North America. Despite the challenges posed by widespread racial prejudice and limited car ownership, it became a vital tool for the emerging African American middle class, reflecting their resilience and need for safe travel options.
