Won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award (1962).

Black Like Me is the story of a man who opened his eyes, and helped an entire nation to do likewise. Regardless of how much progress has been made in eliminating outright racism from American life, Black Like Me endures as a great human and humanitarian document. In our era, when "international" terrorism is most often defined in terms of a single ethnic designation and a single religion, we need to be reminded that America has been blinded by fear and racial intolerance before.
