Historians say car ownership increased in the years before and after World War II.
Victor Hugo Green created the “Negro Motorist Green Book” in 1936. The book started as a guide for Black people traveling through areas where Jim Crow was law, although it eventually expanded to most of the continental U.S.
“The Green Book was a manual for Black people traveling from other parts of the country down South, of safe places you can go to keep from being jumped on, attacked, safe places for your family from white mobs and white violence, places you could go and be respected, where you could go and get gas, where you can go and get food and not have to go to the back door or eat in your car, hotels you could stay in, said Muhammad. So, it was a manual for how to survive when you go down South.
