Traveling the United States was difficult and dangerous for an African American man. For a more permanent solution Victor H. Green came up with a better idea to help out black travelers looking for places to live, places to eat, places to start a life. He started this book called the Green Book in the early 1930’s. This book is full of tips and wisdom for black travelers. There are multiple editions of this book, the Green Book sold fifteen thousand copies for each edition on its heyday. Green’s book was horrifyingly necessary for African-American motorists, business travelers, and vacationers (Matthews). In one edition the cover had a ominous warning telling people they should carry the book with you because you may need it.Green repeats
