Bria Hays 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?

Bria Hays Yes there is. The 7th ward of New Orleans was full of creole, light-skinned blacks.

Ginger Thank you!
