Mary answers “I wondered if there were really any towns...”

Ginger asked this question about The Vanishing Half:

I wondered if there were really any towns like Mallard in the post-slavery South that we’re made up of light-skinned blacks. Did they exist?

Mary I know there was a whole society like that in New Orleans.

Ginger Thanks. The book was so well-written that I assumed such communities really existed. .
