Life On Color Line

Daniel talks to Gregory Williams, author of the book, "Life on the Color Line: The True Story of a White Boy Who Discovered He Was Black." The book deals with Williams' discovery, as a ten-year-old Virginia schoolboy during the 1950's, that his father was really black and he, therefore, was also black. Williams recounts his ostracism from white society, his personal conflicts and his ultimate embrace of his black identity.
