Miracle in the Green Book I was born in 1936 and I died in 1964. My dad was Victor Green. I helped black people know where to eat and sleep, so they could travel freely. Before black people didn’t know where to travel safely. I was there for them. Now I am a part of history. I am proud of what I did. I am thankful for my Dad for making this dream come true.
