#TeachSwell | Black and Brown History Everyday: The Green Book! Guide for Black travelers during Jim Crow Era!
Green asked his readers to provide information on the negro motoring conditions, scenic wonders in your travels, places that you visited of interest, and short stories on one's motoring experiences. He offered a reward of $1 for each accepted account, which he increased to $5 by 1941. He then obtained information from colleagues in the US Postal Service who would ask around on their routes to find suitable public accommodations for African Americans that were traveling

Yeah, it's just a shame that at one point in time in America, we needed something like this, that this was necessary for a black person's safety. And so I encourage everybody to see this movie. It's called Green Book. And so if you're not familiar with the story of the Green book, this will give you a little bit of insight on it. And, yeah, I thought it was a really interesting movie, and I learned a lot from it

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. And you're right, it is an awesome movie. So I'm so glad that you told people about it so they can watch it for themselves. And then if they need additional information, of course, they can either listen to this first or listen to this after. But it is a wonderful movie. Thank you so much. I appreciate you for listening
