Description: On October 28, 1959, John Howard Griffin underwent a transformation that changed many lives beyond his own--he made his skin black and traveled through the segregated Deep South. His odyssey of discovery was captured in journal entries, arguably the single most important documentation of 20th-century American racism ever written.
Review Quotes: "Some actions are so absolutely simple and right that they amount to genius. Black Like Me was an act of genius." --Cyril Connolly, Sunday Times of London
