He Darkened His Skin to Live as a Black Man in 1959

Описание: In 1959, a white journalist named John Howard Griffin did the unthinkable: he medically darkened his skin and traveled through the Jim Crow South pretending to be a Black man. What he experienced—segregation, humiliation, verbal abuse, and threats—exposed the brutal reality of American racism in a way few had dared to try.

This video dives deep into his six-week journey, the physical and emotional toll it took, the kindness he found in Black communities, and the violent backlash that followed once the truth came out.

Griffin’s bold experiment became the bestselling book Black Like Me, but his story remains largely forgotten. Until now.
