Description
There’s a long tradition of “passing” in American society. Passing is defined as hiding part of one’s identity in order to blend in and avoid stigma. Originally this just meant people of African American ancestry passing as white. But passing can involve race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion and even social class. Dr. Page shares stories of people who are (or have been) passing in one way or another, including recent stories from the Washington, DC area.
