The Green Book
The Green Book appears in Peace fire: further US-Iran strikes as the guidebook that listed businesses willing to welcome Black travellers in the United States from 1936 to 1966. The episode says it included restaurants, hotels, and other stops, and also warned travellers about dangerous places such as sundown towns.
In the wiki, the Green Book anchors Black Travel Infrastructure. Its importance is practical rather than symbolic alone: it helped travellers decide where they could safely buy fuel, eat, sleep, rest, and avoid rejection or danger.
