[quote=Anonymous]As many other mixed race people did in the late 19th/early 20th century, his grandparents moved north and chose to live as white people. They were escaping Jim Crow. [quote]The evolution of the racial description of Leo’s ancestors was probably an attempt to hide their African ancestry during the Jim Crow era, Kearns said. “There’s a history of racial passing in American history and within the Black community,” he said. “If they present as White in a convincing enough fashion, there’s a temptation to cut off your history with your Black family and start life anew as a White person.” [/quote] https://wapo.st/3YENRVu (gift link)[/quote]
