But with Jim Crow laws enforcing segregation since the late 1800s, traveling as a Black person in the US could be stressful, even dangerous.So in the 1930s, Victor created a guide-The Negro Motorist Green-Book-compiling information on where to go and what places to avoid so that Black travelers could have a safe and pleasant time. While the Green Book started out small, over the years it became an expansive, invaluable resource for Black people throughout the country-all in the hopes that one day such a guide would no longer be needed.Award-winning author Tonya Bolden and acclaimed illustrator Eric Velasquez shine a light on this little-known history of Victor Hugo Green and the deep impact of his incredible bookon generations of Black families in America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51608308777248,"sku":"NEW0062967401","price":18.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81couXh0fyL.jpg?v=1778701565","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/going-places-victor-hugo-green-and-his-glorious-book-0062967401","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
