Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin
5.0

Black Like Me is better described as well-observed than ahead of its time, yet so interesting and disheartening to hear the same observations 65 years later. I wasn't even born at the time of the study (1958) OR the epilogue (1976) and yet I'm still having the same conversations about the same systemic inequalities and the same dangers to racialized people. Racialized representation and reparations for equal opportunity are still not where they need to be. Black lives still matter. Racism in health care is still harming/killing communities.
Wherever you are in your anti racism learning, read or listen to this book, watch the movie, consume this information!
