Black Like Me

The novel is about a writer named John Howard Griffin who decides to study how a black man lives in the late 1950’s. Mr. Griffin’s main purpose for writing this book was to show inconsiderate and immature white people were in the past. It also revealed how horrible black people were treated.

This story is great and I think that I would recommend it to anyone. (3)
