Description
Diaris Marie Jones is a married, retired grandmother living in the sunshine of Florida. Born and raised in New Orleans until age 17. One memory stands out: the author's grandmother raising up the sleeve of her dress to show an inner elbow saying, "See how light-skinned I am here. I'm Creole." Aunts, uncles and cousins responding to the 1960's proud claims of "Black is Beautiful" ignored grandmother. The notion of pride in light skinned Black people brought images of rape and miscegenation. Prior to the 1960's how did people of blatant mixed race maneuver among the many levels of privilege meted out according to the color of one's skin?The story of Evelyn Beauchamps is a fictionalized version of how the author's grandmother's grandmother may have lived and loved and survived the quagmire of skin color labels one hundred years earlier in the late 1860's of New Orleans.
