It wasn’t until she went through the 1900 Louisiana Census records and discovered that her grandfather and his family were Black. Her late mother wished to keep the secret on the low up until she passed. Lukasik joins BNC’s “AMplified with Aisha Mills” to discuss the complex reckoning with her racial identity.
