An article on a speech given at Miami University by John Howard Griffin, author of "Black Like Me", on the dehumanization of African-Americans. Griffin, a white American, darkened his skin and shaved his head and recorded the ways he was treated differently in order to highlight the prejudice against African-Americans in the Deep South.
