The Negro Motorist Green-Book by Victor Hugo Gree, 1940 facsimile edition, paperbackThe Negro Motorist Green-Book by Victor Hugo Green, 1940 facsimile edition, paperbackTo browse through an edition of The Negro Motorist Green-Book in 2019 (as can be done through digital library archives) is a disquieting experience. These books, written by Victor Hugo Green in 1936 and published for thirty years, offered advice to African Americans travelling in the segregated American South.
