Rebecca Skloot Quote
Lillian converted to Puerto Rican, Gladys said, holding the letter to her chest. I looked at Gary, who sat beside her. Lillian’s skin was real light, even lighter than mom’s, Gary explained. She married a Puerto Rican somewhere in New York. Since she could pass, she disowned her blackness—converted to Puerto Rican because she didn’t want to be black no more.
