The Green Book
The Green Book was a travel guide published between 1936 and 1966 that listed hotels, restaurants, bars, gas stations, etc. that Black travelers would be welcomed. NYPL Labs is in the process of extracting the data from the Green Books themselves and welcomes you to explore its contents in new ways. Learn more here!
