Negro como yo

John Howard Griffin's decision to disguise himself to experience life as a Black man was bold and controversial. I wonder what personal or societal factors motivated him to take this step.

His descriptions of the discrimination and daily struggles are powerful but also heartbreaking. How did the honesty impact your view of racial injustice?

Given the ongoing conversations about race, I’m curious whether this memoir still resonates or if it feels like a product of its time.
