## Caption

🗺️ Traveling south during the Jim Crow era, Black families readied themselves for an inhospitable world. 

First, the absolute necessities: a full can of gas, and ice coolers with “shoebox lunches” – eggs, sandwiches, and fried chicken. 

Other essentials were unique to Blacks: portable toilets, blankets that doubled as partitions for makeshift roadside restrooms, and spare fuses and bulbs to avoid unfriendly service stations or dangerous police stops. 

📗 Packing the Green Book also became essential to avoid the worst of segregation.
