The Book for the April Book Report was “Black Like Me” by John Howard Griffin. This book is listed in the biography genre. The book enhances the reader with an insider's point of view of segregation in the south in the 1960s. John Howard Griffin was a real writer at the time who wanted to give his book more than just an outsiders point of view of the 1960s during these times. The book focuses on his day to day life as a black man in the south and the differences from how the two races were treated differently in an unfair manner.
