A Time to be Human

John Howard Griffin

4.2/5 ( ratings)

In November 1959 , John Howard Griffin underwent a series of medical treatments to temporarily darken the color of his skin; then for six weeks he traveled through the south as a blck man. His diary of that experiment became the best selling book, Black Like Me.
Much has happened since 1959, and many people would argue that racism is a think of the past in this country. John Howard Griffin thinks differently. He believes that we still have the old repressive system in a new wrapping and in "A Time to Be Human" he describes his own encounters with prejudice, first as a white child growing up in Texas; then, as a black man in the South in 1959; and since then, as a white man once again in the ghettos of most of our major cities and in many other countries around the world.
