Ruth estaba muy emocionada de realizar un viaje en el nuevo coche de su familia! A inicios de la d?cada de 1950, pocos afroamericanos pod?an permitirse comprar un coche, por lo que esto ser?a una aventura. Pero pronto se dio cuenta que en muchos pueblos los viajeros negros no eran bienvenidos. Muchos hoteles y estaciones de servicio se negaban a atender a personas negras. Pap? estaba muy molesto por algo que se llamaba las leyes de Jim Crow . . .
Finalmente, un empleado amable en una estaci?n de servicio le mostr? a la familia de Ruth El libro verde. El libro indicaba todos los lugares que aceptaban a viajeros negros. Con esta gu?a, y la amabilidad de algunos extra?os, Ruth pudo finalmente realizar un viaje seguro desde Chicago a la casa de su abuela en la Alabama rural.
La historia de Ruth es ficci?n, pero El libro verde y c?mo ayud? a toda una generaci?n de viajeros afroamericanos a evitar algunas de las humillaciones de Jim Crow son hechos reales.
The picture book inspiration for the Academy Award-winning film The Green Book
Ruth was so excited to take a trip in her family's new car! In the early 1950s, few African Americans could afford to buy cars, so this would be an adventure. But she soon found out that Black travelers weren't treated very well in some towns. Many hotels and gas stations refused service to Black people. Daddy was upset about something called Jim Crow laws . . .
Finally, a friendly attendant at a gas station showed Ruth's family The Green Book. It listed all of the places that would welcome Black travelers. With this guidebook--and the kindness of strangers--Ruth could finally make a safe journey from Chicago to her grandma's house in Alabama.
Ruth's story is fiction, but The Green Book and its role in helping a generation of African American travelers avoid some of the indignities of Jim Crow are historical fact.
