Black Like Me
by John Howard Griffin
This is the incredible true story of a white man in the 1950s who changed his skin pigment and lived as a black man in the South. I am shocked this is not a more widely known book as it should be read by all white Americans. It was interesting and at the same time sad to see the complete shift of mindset of John when he was Black. Being a journalist he recorded the differences in treatment he received by both whites and blacks based on his perceived skin color. I had to put this book down a few times as it was difficult to read the constant injustices and slights perpetuated by white people on black people. An invaluable record of society and a reminder that there is still progress to be made.
