PURPLE

In 1936 the first edition of the Negro Motorist- Green Book was released. This was an annual guidebook for Black motorist, with Black "friendly" businesses listed by state, deemed safe for Black consumerism. Victor Hugo Green's idea and creation of the Green Book was necessary and revolutionary. In a time of Jim Crow and segregation, for Blacks finding safe harbor along your journey was vital.
