39: Hard Pass

Bigoted Husbands, Roberta Jeanette Oiler, and Community Kinship

The story of Gail Lukasik's bigoted father, who never knew his wife was Black, is contrasted with the account of Roberta Jeanette Oiler. Oiler describes a community where people of various complexions all identified as Black due to shared kinship and upbringing. The hosts discuss how "perceived history" and community ties often outweigh physical appearance in defining identity.
