Fuck the postcards, man. They used to hand these out to the colored folk passing through town in parts of Texas, Alabama, Georgia etc. The Green Book was a thing that NEEDED to exist.

It was not until 1967 that inter-racial couples could get married in the US and have those unions recognized by states like Virginia and California and New York. That is (barely) in my lifetime.
