SUMMARY:"Legacy Lost" with Barbara Hilyer
DESCRIPTION:Growing up white in Washington state\, Barbara Hilyer’s dad 
 never told her anything about his family—except that his mother was 
 “crazy.” Ten years after his death\, she learned his sister was living 
 in Hawai’i.\n\nDiscovering “the family secret” introduced her to the 
 concept of passing\, and the complex nature of race and identity. Uncommon 
 in the white world\, passing is a familiar concept among African Americans. 
 Meeting her aunt\, an African American woman deeply involved in state 
 politics\, took Barbara’s life in a new direction\, which led her to 
 Hilo\, Minneapolis\, Washington\, DC\, and the Deep South—researching the 
 extended family she could never know\, and the historic times that defined 
 them.\n\nThis story challenges America’s oversimplified view of race and 
 explores how different individuals across generations pursued all available 
 avenues of opportunity to define their lives in a race-conscious society. 
 American history is not white history\, although it has been presented that 
 way. The times call for a truth telling.\n\nThis program will be 
 livestreamed and available to view later. Click here to watch online.\n\nS. 
 Barbara Hilyer spent her public school teaching career in Ashland\, 
 Oregon\, where she taught elementary school as well as middle and high 
 school social studies\, including American History. She holds a Master’s 
 Degree in Curriculum and Instructional Leadership. At almost 70 years old\, 
 she spends her time revolving around the Pacific Rim between Portland\, 
 British Columbia\, and Hilo. In her next life\, she intends to be an otter.
