Griffin‚ a white man from Texas‚ did an experiment. He darkened his skin using drugs and a sun lamp to pass for a black man. He then toured Mississippi‚ Alabama‚ and Louisiana by buses and hitchhiking. Griffin recorded his experiences in his book Black Like Me‚ first published in 1961 (Karr).

On the way‚ everyone carried as much stuff as they were capable of. After a while‚ a thin boy put down
