Passing for White: Race; Religion and the Healy Family; 1820-1920By PerryAn insightful account of America; the Roman Catholic Church and the plight of being of Black in the mid-1800s.The most profound idea springing from this volume is that success in America and the Catholic Church depended upon the absolute non-disclosure by the Healys of their "Negro" ancestry. Nevertheless; the Healy brothers were remarkable individuals who made decisions to excell as distinct ways. Yet the author provides key commentary on the impediment of being Black in this country.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. still very sad they had to deny and hide their african american ...By nonethis book was so informative and interesting.i feel that the healy children had no choice but to pass for white in order to be accepted into society and to reach their positions in the catholic church.still very sad they had to deny and hide their african american heritage.
