Ruth and The Green Book
by Calvin Alexander Ramsey
A Texas Bluebonnet Award Nominee^SM

In the 1950's travel was difficult for African-American families. The Jim-Crow laws allowed businesses to deny service to these families. Only one gas station would sell gas to them. Most restaurants and hotels closed their doors to them.

How did they find help when they traveled?

One clever service station owner created the answer! The Green Book!

Ruth and The Green Book by Calvin Alexander Ramsey tells the story of how African- American families found help when times were tough and laws were unlawful.

The Kids Wings unit will provide fun and interaction through puzzles, group projects, problem solving that builds skills for the whole class . Ruth and The Green Book is an important part of every classroom and school library!
