"Why The Green Book Was Necessary" – Vintage Black History T-Shirt

Traveling while Black in America wasn’t just about reaching a destination—it was about survival. This powerful and educational T-shirt honors The Green Book, a critical guide that helped African American travelers navigate racial segregation during the Jim Crow era (1936-1966).

Designed with a vintage aesthetic, this shirt features:
Bold distressed typography for a classic, historical feel
A faded map of the U.S., highlighting the safe routes listed in The Green Book
An illustration of a Black family on a road trip, carrying The Green Book
Informative text, explaining why this guide was essential for safety
A powerful quote by Victor Hugo Green: “Carry your Green Book with you… You may need it.”
