In Black Like Me, John Howard Griffin, a white man from Mansfield, Texas, temporarily darkens his skin to experience life as a Black man in the segregated South of the 1950s, documenting the racism and prejudice he encounters. Through his firsthand experiences, Griffin aims to bridge the gap between white and Black communities by providing a glimpse into the realities of racial segregation and discrimination.
