This is a very informative book on the African Americans in the 1950’s.  When they traveled,especially in the South, it was hard to find a place to eat, sleep, or buy gas for the car.  Many places refused services to black people.

As a result The Green Book became the travelers guide, with places that would allow blacks to come and be safe.

This is a good book for students to read and understand how it was for the blacks in the early history of our country.
