L&O: Is their white murder suspect secretly Black?

Law & Order S8 E7 Blood

I have a feeling this scene is going to seem pretty weird in 15 years.

A white socialite had given up her Black baby for adoption before being thrown from her balcony. Briscoe and Curtis learn her husband is really a Black man who’s passed as white for years. Is he - or someone else - willing to kill to keep the family secret? 

We have thoughts about Law & Order season 8 episode 7 "Blood." Our guest is Pulitzer Prize winning author/ podcaster/ professor Marcia Chatelain.

This episode takes cues from the real-life story of author Anatole Broyard.
