@StillIRise1963 Reminds me of Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin from 1961. Griffin describes how he took skin darkening medication and that many friends did not recognize him.

Ray Sprigle did this a decade earlier.

While Wikipedia said he received very few hoslite letters, the hostility from White people made him relocate from Texas to Mexico. He was assulted by white men in 1964.

I don't think we need a remake in 2024. It is better to support Black voices.
