The title is very outdated, but of course, it was relevant in the time period in which the publication was done.
Would have liked to have received an original copy of the "Green Book" or at least a reproduction of an original in the original type of book cover and pages. It's value is in its priceless historical significance.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The green book.
I just had to see how awful our country was to the Black people of that time. We are after all one race, the HUMAN race. My father risked his life driving from Michigan to the poverty stricken in Mississippi with another minister, smuggling school books and bibles so they could have a chance at knowledge. Why are we still holding them down today, enough is enough. This book is sad if the way that it is true.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Memory Travels
This little book gives us a look into an era that is gone and still with us. A bit of history showing another part of American culture and American economy many of us were not even aware existed. Names that might be familiar, but not understood how they related to our history of the races. It identifies areas of cities that were once vibrant centers of Negro life, now gone or changed. One can read these entries and if you are familiar with the city visualize what it might have been like. Too, if you live in or near some of the places you can visit the addresses and see what is there now and contemplate the changes which have taken place.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
