ALT Victor Green was a mail carrier in New York City. He saw the need for a guidebook to help African-Americans travel safely during Jim Crow segregation. The travel guide identified businesses that would accept African American customers during the segregation era in the United States. In 1937 he began publishing The Negro Motorist Green Book.
