The discovery that former NAACP chapter president Rachel Dolezal was born to white parents sparked a national conversation on the nature of racial identity. In October 2014, Tom Hall spoke with author Jess Row about his novel, "Your Face In Mine". Set in Baltimore, it tackles the issues of racial identity, white privilege, and the notion of starting your life over again as a completely new person. 

This segment originally aired on October 1st, 2014.
