Book 43,2017: 'Black Like Me' by John Howard Griffin. This is the story of a white man who decided to travel the Deep South of America disguised as a black man in 1959. His experience?........yeah,you guessed right. Weltanschauung!

Oliver: "It's a dope book. The story takes place in the 50s in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. A white guy wants to know what's like to be black. He goes to a dermatologist and changes the color of his skin. He ends up making it so dark that he has an identity crisis because he can't tell anymore that he used to be white. The people who used to know him don't recognize him either - he can't cash checks anymore and he can't sit in his regular spot on the bus. He's baffled by it. I read a lot about social justice and the black condition in America. Changing on the outside doesn't change who you are on the inside. I'm not just my skin. What makes me black is the black experience. I wish people would understand this." @oliverthewriter reading #BlackLikeMe by #JohnHowardGriffin / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽 (at 14街-聯合廣場車站)
