|  | Black Like Me by John H. Griffin
In the fall of 1959, John Howard Griffin used medical treatments to darken the color of his skin and then set out on an odyssey through Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia, a white man travelling as a black man in order to find out first-hand what it was like to be a Negro in the Deep South, as he wrote at the time. His eloquent and gripping chronicle of that odyssey, Black Like Me , helped ignite public opinion in support of the burgeoning Civil Rights movement. AUTHOR: John H. Griffin
