About this event
GMU cultural historian Michael O'Malley explores the history of racial classification. His most recent book, The Color of Family: History, Race and the Politics of Ancestry, uses an incident in his family history to examine how authority over identity has shifted from community, to state and federal administrative records, to commercial genealogical companies, like Ancestry.com. He discusses whether this a benign development or a threat.
