As seen on The Today Show! "Important in helping us understand
America's complex racial history."-Kenyatta D. Berry, Host of PBS's
Genealogy Roadshow White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and
Racial Passing is the story of Gail Lukasik's mother's "passing,"
Gail's struggle with the shame of her mother's choice, and her
subsequent journey of self-discovery and redemption. In the
historical context of the Jim Crow South, Gail explores her
African-American mother's decision to pass, how she hid her secret
even from her own husband, and the price she paid for choosing
whiteness. Haunted by her mother's fear and shame, Gail embarks on
a quest to uncover her mother's racial lineage, tracing her family
back to eighteenth-century colonial Louisiana. In coming to terms
with her decision to publicly out her mother, Gail changed how she
looks at race and heritage. With a foreword written by Kenyatta
Berry, host of PBS's Genealogy Roadshow, this unique and
fascinating story of coming to terms with oneself breaks down
barriers.
