In this episode of Hidden Verdicts, we dive deep into the legal gymnastics that dictated who was considered black and who wasn’t, with monumental cases like Plessy v. Ferguson setting the groundwork. How did the Supreme Court decide what fraction of someone’s blood made them a different race?  And why do these outdated ideals still linger today?  We explore the bizarre and often contradictory ways American law has tried to define identity.  Prepare to rethink what you know about race in America.   Make America Think Again.
