White journalist John Howard Griffin, working for the black-owned magazine Sepia, decided to cross that line. Using medication that darkened his skin to deep brown, he exchanged his privileged life as a southern white man for the disenfranchised...

Rather, The Color of Law incontrovertibly makes it clear that it was de jure segregation--the...
