For The Culture's Greenbook Guideuring the 1930s, when anti-Black discrimination was the rule of law, Black travelers were often in clear and present danger. Under Jim Crow laws, widespread racial discrimination and subjugation made it difficult for Black Americans to purchase luxury items now considered common, such as cars. Those who were able to afford automobiles and travel, faced unflinching racism by the police, civilians, motel owners, and restaurateurs.
This is the inspiration behind For the Culture’s Green Book Guide, a growing database of Black and Brown businesses.
