The Green Book, also known as The Negro Motorist Green Book, and later, The Negro Travelers’ Green Book, was a travel guide for African Americans, published from 1936 to 1966. The annual guide was designed to show businesses that did not discriminate against Black travelers. The book was named after its founder Victor Hugo Green.[1]
Today, according to Architectural Historian Jennifer Reut, an expert participant with the National Trust for Historic Preservation, it is estimated that less than 20 percent of the sites listed in The Green Book are still extant. Fewer have been documented, maintained, or preserved. Communities and advocates across the country are working together to identify and collect the stories of the events and people that sustained the Green Book sites. Twenty individual listed properties in the National Register of Historic Places have been identified as being in the Green Book.[1]
