Radio Curious visits with Lacey Schwartz, director and producer of âLittle White Lie,â a documentary about her experiences growing up as a white Jew and later learning that she is half black.
Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor, is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producer.
The secret revealed in the life of Lacey Schwartz, born in 1987 to a white Jewish family in rural upstate New York, where she grew up, is that her biological father was black. The few who knew her truth remained silent until after her first year of college when she asked her mother why she looked the way she did. Lacey Schwartz is the producer and director of the film âLittle White Lie,â with a website at http://www.littlewhiteliethefilm.com.  âLittle White Lieâ will be shown at the Mendocino Film Festival on Friday, May 29, 2015, at 5:30 pm in the Village of Mendocino, California.  Lacey Schwartz and I visited by phone from her home near New York City, on May 11, 2015. First we hear a clip of Laceyâs voice taken from the introduction of the film âLittle White Lie,â and later intersperse our conversation with clips from the film.  The book Lacey Schwartz recommends is âHow It Feels to Be Free: Black Women Entertainers and the Civil Rights Movement,â by Ruth Feldstein.   Radio Curious is a half-hour, weekly, long-form interview program, now in it's 25th year.
