He purchased a wig and got treatments to make his skin darker so he could live as a "black man". He originally planned to live as a black man for 3 months and to record his findings. He lasted for about 3 days before stopping the projected because he just couldn't take the consistent acts of hidden and overt rascism he felt on a daily basis.
Hmmm, a modern day experiment/version of the book, "Black Like Me". Interesting....
