- Description:
- Read the book, "Ruth and the Green Book." Introduce students to the "Negro Motorist Green Book," either through .pdf (attached) or through a copy of the book. Allow students to explore the lists of businesses and individuals who were willing to assist the African American travelers. Ask students to imagine that they are Ruth (or a brother), write a diary entry from the trip or a letter home to a friend telling them about the trip. Be Mr. Victor Green, write a page for your community--where could an African American traveler shop, rest, or eat in your community.
