  <default_description>In the Deep South of the 1950s, journalist John Howard Griffin decided to cross the color line. Using medication that darkened his skin to deep brown, he exchanged his privileged life as a Southern white man for the disenfranchised world of an unemployed black man. His audacious, still chillingly relevant eyewitness history is a work about race and humanity-that in this new millennium still has something important to say to every American.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book in high school for an assignment.  It had a heavy impact on me and it delivered compassion, empathy, and a huge chip on my shoulder for prejudice. I still shake my head at people who wear bigotry and those who loathe and bully others for no reason but their own arrogance.<br/><br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60185021">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So why didn't I come across this book when I was younger? I bet it was on a reading list or something. That's the problem with those giant reading lists they'd give you from school: there'd be all these books, and, being age 12 or thereabouts, you have no real way of determining which of these books...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/60154541">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book in college in the late 60s. It was quite the eye opener. Having been raised in a totally different culture that did not consider blacks inferior as human beings and had no Jim Crow laws, I could not fathom such bigotry. Cubans came in all colors &amp; were not hyphenated; they were Cuba...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52182672">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Number 5 is a book I read in the 50's or early 60's by a courageous man who deliberately made himself look passably negroid so that he could live in 1950's black America. Having never known a black person until I sent to college the book was an eye opening look into the world of a racial underclass....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40202715">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is another one of those &quot;classics&quot; that I somehow managed to avoid reading in school. I thought the book was interesting and I'm sure at the time it was published it was pretty revolutionary.  However, for me, the book didn't really have that much impact as much of what John Griffin e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38875648">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[An account of a white man who goes undercover in 1959 as a black man.  Very insightful and a great discussion book.  First printed in the early 1960s.  Author and his family forced to move due to the threat of a few, but he continued advocating for the rights of blacks, but moreso for the rights of ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28454858">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This classic, with a 1978 update from the author, gives such a great glimpse into racism in 1959 U.S.! It highlighted that this white man changed nothing but his skin color (kept the same clothes, answered people honestly about his education and opinions, etc.) and was treated so very differently.
