520    "Overground Railroad chronicles the history of the Green 
       Book, which was published from 1936 to 1966 and was the 
       "Black travel guide to America." For years, it was 
       dangerous for African Americans to travel in the United 
       States. Because of segregation, Black travelers couldn't 
       eat, sleep, or even get gas at most white-owned 
       businesses. The Green Book listed hotels, restaurants, 
       department stores, gas stations, recreational destinations,
       and other businesses that were safe for Black travelers. 
       It was a resourceful and innovative solution to a horrific
       problem. It took courage to be listed in the Green Book, 
       and the stories from those who took a stand against racial
       segregation are recorded and celebrated. This young 
       reader's edition of Candacy Taylor's critically acclaimed 
       adult book Overground Railroad include her own photographs
       of Green Book sites, as well as archival photographs and 
       interviews with people who owned and used these 
       facilities. The book also includes an author's note, 
       endnotes, bibliography, timeline, and index"--|cProvided
