LGBT History Project: LGBT-094 Pedro Zagitt Collection

The Non-Straight Motorist Green-Book was created by Pedro Zagitt for an exhibit at the Susquehanna Art Museum. After visiting the Dickinson College Archives and Special Collections to explore the LGBT History Project, Zagitt was inspired by the Gaia’s Guide 1976 by Sandy Horn, one of the first travel guides for non-heterosexual/non-cisgendered people in the pre-internet era. The form of the guide is based on the Motorist Green Book created by Harlem postman Victor Green in 1936, and the first travel guide for Black Americans during the time of segregation. This publication is one of two copies that Zagitt created.
