From "Whence You/We Came"

In 5000 B.C., Sumer, Mesopotamia

Wheels, Roads and Terrestrial Navigation began.

The Sumerians came from space, were masters of mining, building, crafting, and ultimately experts in sourcing resources and materials.

Paved roads transformed civilization by enabling the rapid movement of armies, goods, and information, which facilitated trade, governance, and urban expansion. The Sumerians built the first known stone-paved roads around 4000 B.C. using mud bricks and BITUMEN to support agricultural trade and temple construction.

Digital Green Guide

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".
