The historical case we explored reveals the complex and often inconsistent rules around citizenship and blood quantum in the United States. It presents an instance where a Native American man of mixed heritage, with clear African lineage, was denied citizenship. While some states adhered to the 'one drop rule' - asserting that any African ancestry, however small, classified an individual as African - the same rule didn't apply when this man sought recognition of his African descent for citizenship. This contradiction highlights the tangled relationship between racial identity, blood quantum, and citizenship eligibility in the annals of U.S. history.

Come join me on a new docu-series that explores identity, racial tensions in the South during the 20th century, and the unique experiences of those who historically called Louisiana home.
My name is Danielle Romero, and all my life, I have romanticized Louisiana.
Growing up in New York, it represented a place where I could step back the sepia-toned life of my great grandmother, Lola Perot, who died before I was born.
Now, it was time to go back to Louisiana--although I had no idea what the truth would be or what questions to ask---who was Lola really? Who were we?
