I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

2. AAEXPL_190130_032.JPG: On the Road with Jim Crow During the segregation era, discriminatory laws and practices made traveling by car a difficult and even dangerous experience for African Americans. Along the nation's highways, black travelers were routinely denied access to basic service like gas, food, restrooms, and lodging. Stopping in an unfamiliar place carried the risk of humiliation, threats, or worse. To find safe and friendly accommodations, travelers relied on a network of shared advice, exchanged by word of mouth and also published in guides such as the Green Book (1936-1966). To learn more about travel during segregation, visit Defending Freedom, Defining Freedom.

5. AAEXPL_190130_041.JPG: There was no place for us to eat or sleep on the main highways. Restaurants wouldn't serve us... Some gasoline stations didn't want to sell us gas and oil. Some told us no restrooms were available. The looks of anger at the sight of us colored folks sitting in a nice car were frightening to see. -- Mahalia Jackson, 1966

10. AAEXPL_190130_057.JPG: The Green Book Published from 1936 to 1966, The Negro Motorist Green Book listed motels, restaurants, service stations, and other accommodations that served African Americans. Victor H. Green, a New Jersey postal worker, created his namesake guide to help black travelers safely navigate the segregated realities of Jim Crow America. Green used his contacts in the postal service, as well as input from traveling salesmen and business owners, to compile the listings, and partnered with the Standard Oil Company to distribute the Green Book at Esso gas stations.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
