October 29, 1959
- Griffin drives to Fort Worth, Texas to meet his friend George Levitan. Levitan owns Sepia, a magazine for black people, and Griffin thinks he'll be interested in his project.
- He thinks it's crazy. But also crazy awesome. He'll do it, but it will be dangerous.
- Adelle Jackson, the editorial director, thinks that it's impossible, but they agree to the project in the end.
- Then he tells his wife that she will be getting to do her own experiment of being a single mom to three kids for a while. Great news for her. We bet she was thrilled. But it is the 1950s, so there's not much else she can do but accept it.
