![]() ![]() Not The Heroįor one thing, Griffin is not the hero here. But what we do get to know tells us a lot about his character. We don't know Griffin before the experiment or after it. All we know is how Griffin feels during the experiment, and most of his emotions are fear and anger. He doesn't talk very much about himself, since he is so focused on telling us about the black experience. Didn't they see Roots? Maybe they didn't get it on Netflix.Īnyway, there's not much that we get to know about this guy through his book. ![]() We guess back then people didn't know how much it sucked to be black in the pre-civil-rights American South, but it seems pretty obvious to us now. John Howard Griffin, or at least the guy he describes himself as in Black Like Me, is either one of the bravest or stupidest guys we've ever heard of. ![]()
