17-37 Black like me

In the book Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin there is a part when he goes to the black cafe where only black people are welcomed there. They had a very good conversation in the cafe with the owner saying how they can never overcome racism without coming together with the whites. The owner of the cafe doesn't understand how black people can go against there own race too. Also the owner kind of recognizes griffins name and questions griffin about it but would not believe that griffin was taking ownership of a whit mans writing.
