help him publish the book he soon wants to make after his experiment. The experiment is to change his skin color to black and try to resolve discrimination with the black and white people. Mr. Levitan thinks this is a crazy idea and thinks he’s sure to get killed the second someone finds out about what he’s doing. This shows that it was extremely dangerous to try anything like this back in that time period because everyone was very pro-racism. I think it shouldn’t have to be dangerous to do
