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. 588 0 Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on May 12, 2021). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 Automobile travel|vGuidebooks|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85010360|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 African Americans|xSegregation|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85001982|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 0 African Americans|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects /sh85001932|xTravel|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99005039|xHistory|y20th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006165 650 0 African Americans|xLegal status, laws, etc.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85001962|y20th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002012476 650 7 Race relations.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1086509 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Automobile travel.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 823217 650 7 African Americans|xSegregation.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799695 650 7 African Americans|xTravel.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/799716 650 7 African Americans.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 799558 650 7 African Americans|xLegal status, laws, etc.|2fast|0https:/ /id.worldcat.org/fast/799632 651 0 United States|xRace relations|xHistory.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007100006 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Guidebooks.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1423871 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 655 7 Informational works.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919930 655 7 Informational works.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026113 655 7 Guidebooks.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026108 776 08 |iPrint version:|aTaylor, Candacy A.|tOverground railroad. |dNew York : Abrams Press, 2020|z9781419738173|w(DLC) 2018958273|w(OCoLC)1086339267 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2293196|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
