Renowned historian Martha S. Jones has researched five generations of her family’s history and discovered the complicated relationship with race that has remained a cross-generational through-line.
With deep ties to North Carolina, Jones’ family story includes early 19th century interracial marriage, accounts of racial passing and a grandfather who was the first president of Bennett College in Greensboro.
