Mixed! Professor Reginald Daniel on Family History, Multiracial Identity

We continue our series Mixed: Stories from Mixed Race Californians. KQED’s Sasha Khokha and Marisa Lagos interview Reginald Daniel, a UC Santa Barbara professor who taught the longest running college course on multiracial identity in the nation. He helped hundreds of students grapple with their own family histories and broader concepts of racial identity. From a young age, he also butted heads with his own family over questions of race. Born to a Black family in the segregated South, he questioned his own heritage, which included white ancestors. Those questions made his family deeply uncomfortable. Daniel died suddenly last fall, shortly after our interview. see more
