There are a few travel guides for African Americans listed when you
Google --Negro "travel guide" United States--. Most of these are from
the early to mid-20th century.

There is a book I have somewhere but can't find, which is a collection
of travel articles by state written for _Opportunity_, the magazine of
the Urban League. (I hope I am not misremembering this--someone
clarify this if you can before I finally find the book.)
