Black Like Me…

…by John Howard Griffin documents his 1959 experiment of chemically darkening his skin and then wandering the streets of Southern states to see how he is received in his guise.

Spoiler alert: white people are alternately cruel and patronizing while black people are courteous and understanding to one who appears to be a Negro (the now old-fashioned “polite” term for persons with dark skin).
