520 8  The first book to explore the historical role and residual
       impact of the Green Book, a travel guide for black 
       motorists. Published from 1936 to 1966, the Green Book was
       hailed as the "black travel guide to America." At that 
       time, it was very dangerous and difficult for African-
       Americans to travel because black travelers couldn't eat, 
       sleep, or buy gas at most white-owned businesses. The 
       Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, gas stations, and 
       other businesses that were safe for black travelers. It 
       was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific 
       problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book, 
       and 'Overground Railroad' celebrates the stories of those 
       who put their names in the book and stood up against 
       segregation. It shows the history of the Green Book, how 
       we arrived at our present historical moment, and how far 
       we still have to go when it comes to race relations in 
       America.
