It was available for purchase from 1936 to 1966. They sold about 15,000 a year after it got well known. ]]> 2019-01-09 17:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/100128826/bzmtk20ufkrd/wish/318903074 What places were black people not allowed? 100128826 https://padlet.com/100128826/bzmtk20ufkrd/wish/319239561 I didn't find any specific places where black people weren't allowed, but there were such things called "sundown towns" which were all white communities with signs everywhere saying that blacks had to leave by sundown. ]]> 2019-01-10 14:20:15 UTC https://padlet.com/100128826/bzmtk20ufkrd/wish/319239561 Where are the green book locations now? 100128826 https://padlet.com/100128826/bzmtk20ufkrd/wish/319243884 Of the 250 green book sites listed along Route 66, over half are gone.
