Verda Byrd was adopted by a black family, and grew up thinking she was a light-skinned black woman until 2014, when she found out her biological parents were both white, WLTX 19 reports. Byrd who published a book, Seventy Years of Blackness , in December 2017 says she never questioned her race until she began researching her biological family in 2013. “I didn’t know what I was, ” she said. “It was never told to me that I was white.” Byrd is the biological daughter of Daisy and Earl Beagle, a poor white couple with four other children at the time of her birth.
