Digital Green Guide
A guide/guidebook has always been a useful thing to have throughout all of history. In the USA for some there became a niche that needed to be served helping citizens getting from Point A to Point B and back again safely. Civically and Culturally speaking a man called Victor Hugo Green introduced a guidebook for Negro travellers to use, for their safety first, and their comfort second.
WHY
WAS IT A
NECESSITY?
Introduced by Victor Hugo Green
African American travelers faced discrimination, such as white-owned businesses refusing to serve them or repair their vehicles, being refused accommodation or food by white-owned hotels, and threats of physical violence and forcible expulsion from whites-only "sundown towns". Green founded and published the Green Book to avoid such problems, compiling resources "to give the Negro traveler information that will keep him from running into difficulties, embarrassments and to make his trip more enjoyable". Candacy Taylor, the maker of a 2019 documentary film about the book offered this summary: "Everyone I was interviewing talked about the community that the Green Book created: a kind of parallel universe that was created by the book and this kind of secret road map that the Green Book outlined".
