I spotted an Esso station near the Georgia

border and sang out for Daddy to stop.

Daddy filled the car up and asked the man if

he knew where we could sleep for the night.

The man showed us a pamphlet called The

Negro Motorist Green Book. He explained

this book was started by a postman, Mr.

Victor H. Green, to help Black people

who were traveling. It lists places in lots

of states where we would be welcome

to sleep, eat, shop, get a haircut—and

all kinds of other information besides.

Right away, Daddy bought our very

own copy for seventy-five cents.
