Green Book (guide) – I'll preface – this is not about political correctednes, I've only noticed that the publication changed names a lot of times.
1. Looking at the contents of the page, it's clear that the a lot of referenced reliable sources commonly use Green Book as a reference.
2. The only non-changed part of a title is Green Book. Here, The New York Libraries Digital Collection – The Negro Travelers’ Green Book (1952—1959), The Travelers’ Green Book (1960—1967). The last name persisted for 6 years.
3. And the last, WP:IDENTITY – When there is a discrepancy between the term most commonly used by reliable sources for a person or group and the term that person or group uses for themselves, use the term that is most commonly used by reliable sources.

Hey, @ Bkatcher, you removed this as self-promotion. What are you seeing as self-promotion? It seems to have been added here in 2015 by an experienced editor in a major update. valereee ( talk) 22:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
Should this be added to this article? A law went into effect today in Virginia that "Directs the Department of Historic Resources, in partnership with the Virginia Tourism Corporation and the Department of Transportation, to designate or approve supplementary signs for historic site signs identifying Green Book locations and businesses in the Commonwealth. The bill defines "Green Book" as The Negro Motorist Green Book published by Victor Hugo Green, which provided a list of hotels, guest houses, service stations, drug stores, taverns, barbershops, and restaurants known to be safe for traveling Black Americans during the Jim Crow era."
