Discrimination in Action

My mom was like the sister-in-law in the video, and like her had a strong opinion and radar for discrimination. She was a kid in the '20's and 30's, and was often mistaken as being white. Once she was an adult, it was obvious how her treatment by co-workers changed once they found out she was not. Even in death, on her death certificate, she was listed as "white". My sister and I know she is turning in her grave; that is the last thing she would have wanted to be.
