THE POST RACIAL NEGRO GREEN BOOK (2017) by Jan Miles
From Goodreads: “The Post-Racial Negro Green Book” is a state-by-state compilation of occurrences, information, and data that document a pattern of 21st century racial bias against Black people in the United States. It is an archive intended to preserve the voluminous amount of contemporary history on the topic in a permanent medium for the sake of review, consideration, discussion, and action.”
