Synopsis:
Lois Lane prepares to write a story for the Daily Planet concerning life in Little Africa, the black section of Metropolis. When she arrives, she is met by disinterest and outright hatred from everyone she speaks to. Lois asks Superman for help. He takes her to the Fortress of Solitude and uses a Kryptonian device to change Lois from a white woman into a black one.

Lois returns to Metropolis. While in the white section of town, she is treated as an outcast. When she reaches Little Africa a second time, Lois learns about life in the slums from the residents there. When a man is shot while trying to confront some drug dealers, Lois donates blood to save his life. She then reverts to her normal appearance. The man is surprised, but he now accepts Lois despite their difference in skin color.
