The Life and Work of John Howard Griffin

John Howard Griffin was a Texan who traveled to France at 15, alone and was in France when World War Two began. He helped rescue French Jews and was hunted by the Gestapo before he was 2, . He came back to the U.S., joined the Army Air Force and was stationed in the South Pacific. He became blind during the war and returned to Texas. 10 years later his eyesight came back– suddenly–no one knows why. Then he dyed his skin black and wrote the classic book ‘Black Like Me.’ Millions have read ‘Black Like Me, ‘ but never knew of his 10 years of blindness. This is a fascinating biography of a life of great courage.
