Started by mailman Victor Hugo Green in 1936, by 1959 the acclaimed series was edited and published by Victor's wife Alma D. Green (Victor would die the following year.) The book provides a state-by-state and city-by-city listing of businesses, including advertisements from proprietors reaching out to Black customers. Some of these were long-running, storied establishments, like the Booker T. Washington Hotel in San Francisco, where in its lounge you might run into W.E.B.
