Lacey Schwartz (born 1977) is an American filmmaker, most notable for her 2015 PBS documentary ''Little White Lie''. ==Background== Schwartz is the daughter of Robert and Peggy Schwartz who was raised as a white, Jewish girl in the predominantly white community of Woodstock, New York. Growing up Jewish, she did not check the racial preference box on her college admission form, but was admitted as a black student based on her photograph.〔http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/11730987/Racial-identity-Black-woman-raised-to-believe-she-was-white.html〕 She was not aware that she was a multi-racial American and that her biological father, Rodney Parker, was an African American. In the PBS documentary, ''Little White Lie'',〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Little White Lie )〕 she tells the story about her unusual upbringing and how finally embracing her racial identity has brought her a modicum of peace. She had never considered her life to be "passing" but found a commonality with the people she met in the Black Student Alliance at Georgetown University. She went on to graduate Harvard Law, where she met her future husband.〔() 〕 Her parents, whenever she questioned her identity growing up, had an answer that sufficed when she was still a child. The family album had pictures of her paternal ancestor, a Sicilian Jew who was of a very dark complexion. When she entered college life, the looks she got from African-American friends led her to rethink how she had viewed herself and by the time she entered her thirties and began making the film, the truth had already come out. The family secret, an affair that her mother had with an African-American also led to the breakup of her parent's marriage and affirmed what everyone else already knew, that she was the product of a multi-racial heritage and not the white, Jewish girl she had always thought that she was. She is the mother of twin boys and lives in upstate New York.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Little White Lie: Lacey Schwartz Uproots Her Family Tree )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lacey Schwartz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
