As a sophomore I had to take a “Humanaties Course”, required or there would have been no takers.

The main source text for the class was the book “Black Like Me”

The author was attempting to learn what it was like to live as a black person. To color his skin, he finally ended up using walnut hulls that provided a brown color and actually lasted.

The course was prescient because the next year, race riots erupted in Raleigh and reporters came from all over to cover the events.
