Annie Turbo Malone And 9 Other Forgotten Names In Black History We’re Grateful For

Victor Hugo Green

With organizations like The Black Travel Club and Travel Noire, it’s almost impossible to believe that Blacks were once not allowed to travel freely and safely. Well, believe it! Blacks were not allowed to travel into certain areas. They wouldn’t be attended to and in some cases, they would be kicked out altogether or face violence. But then came Victor Hugo Green, a creative genius who created The Green Book, a Black travel guide. This book listed restaurants that would serve them, areas where they could find hotel accommodations and nearby gas stations and more while not being mistreated due to the color of their skin. Green not only made Black travel easier but made it possible for future generations.
