As I have posted here before, I am curating an exhibit for the Cornelius Low House in Piscataway, "Mid-Century New Jersey," about the Garden State in the 1950s.
Does anyone have an original copy of "The Negro Motorist Green Book" from the 1950s? I want to include this in the exhibit but all I have been able to find are facsimiles of the 1954 edition.
Among the FREE serviced Garden State Legacy offers the NJ history community is our GSL Speakers Buerau.
