About this book

The Green Book helped Black motorists find businesses that would serve them while segregation restricted travel across America. Candacy Taylor examines the guide's history and the people who made its listings possible. Personal testimony about roadside encounters accompanies the broader history, linking the practical problems of a family vacation with the racial barriers that shaped everyday movement.
