Description
John Howard Griffin's groundbreaking work chronicles his journey as he crossed the colour line in America's segregated South. In the 1950s, Griffin used medication to darken his skin and experience life as an unemployed black man, shedding light on the racial tensions of the time.
This searing work of nonfiction is a powerful exploration of race and humanity, offering a deeply personal and thought-provoking account of one man's experiences. With an epilogue by the author and an afterword by Robert Bonazzi, Griffin's eyewitness history remains a relevant and important read for every American.
