Verda Byrd has been living her entire life as a black woman. Only until the age of 70 Verda made
a shocking discovery. She was adopted and her biological parents were actually white. 70 Years
of Blackness takes a look into Verda's story while examining the effects race played within the
adoption industry.
In this episode Mrs. Byrd and I speak on her background, her story of love in regards to uncovering her rich history, and the impact of both her book and the upcoming documentary "Seventy Years of Blackness - The Untangling of Race & Adoption" by filmmaker Christopher Windfield.
