Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin

5.0

---

Every white person should read this book. I am tempted to gift this to some of my relatives, to be honest. This is a true story. A man literally underwent treatments so he could appear black, and then documented his experiences in the south, as a black man. How else could white people ever begin to understand how black people have lived and the struggles they have experienced? I've read other books, in hopes that I'd gain some insight, but this one has been the best, so far.
