Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin

5.0

---

This is the first book I’ve heard where a white person truly understands the plight of Black people. It took him changing his skin to be in it. He took the “walk a mile in my shoes” to a whole other level of “sleeping in my skin”. I think honestly, this should be a book that all students should read in school. I found out about it by looking at the “Banned Book Week” website. I’ve never heard of this book before. It was a mindful read that everybody should read.
