The Negro Motorist Green Book was a travel guidebook for Black Americans during the Jim Crow era. It was created to help Black motorists find safe and welcoming places to eat, sleep, and refuel while traveling through the United States. The book was first published in 1936 by Victor Hugo Green, a Black postal worker from Harlem, New York, and continued to be published until 1967. The Green Book played a significant role in helping Black Americans navigate the treacherous landscape of racism, segregation, and discrimination during the Jim Crow era.

He was one of the leading figures of the bebop movement, a style of jazz characterized by fast tempos, complex harmonies, and improvisation based on the structure of the music rather than its melody.
