Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Actresses Louise Beavers (left) and Fredi Washington (right) play black mother Delilah and mixed-race daughter Peola in the 1934 film "Imitation of Life." Peola passes as white to seek advancement in a segregated society.
A heated debate about race and identity erupted in the wake of news that the president of an NAACP chapter in Spokane, Wash., may be a white woman who has been ‘passing’ as an African-American. We explore the history of racial passing in America.
