O ovom filmu

In the 1930s, a black postal carrier from Harlem named Victor Green published a book that was part travel guide and part survival guide. It was called The Negro Motorist Green Book, and it helped African-Americans navigate safe passage across America well into the 1960s. Explore some of the segregated nation's safe havens and notorious "sundown towns" and witness stories of struggle and indignity as well as opportunity and triumph.

I found this very enlightening and enjoyed learning some history even though it saddened my heart. I think folks are trying to act like it never took place as they are with the Jewish Holocaust,and the American Indian's,which is very sad and DOES NOT make it anymore less real than it was. Those who lived through it can testify to it,but most have passed away by now,but I hope that someone keeps the truth alive for future generations to know what has taken place in the past to make it possible for them to have the lives they have today. We should all strive to get along that is how God intended it to be, its man who is the shallow one and eventually will pay for it. We were ALL created by God and have the same color blood in our veins and no one is better than another. The sooner we ALL realize this the BETTER off we WILL be.

Very informative. It's just so sad what black people went through in America. Low self-esteem apparently can have grave consequences. 😢
