Leah Turner (and her mom)

We make the first of two pitstops along our journey to visit with Leah's parents. This time, we meet Leah's mom, who shares her personal story of growing up in an affluent, all-white suburb of Washington, D.C. with limited contact with people of color. Learn how she ventured away from the influences of a racist father and eventually married outside of her race.

This episode will help you learn a little more about the host through the eyes of the woman who raised her. It also provides one octogenarian's account of her experience of the changing landscape of race relations throughout her lifetime.
