Ep. 3 - I Came From the Land Beyond the Sea

Sweet Daddy Grace

Both Daddy Grace’s family and Marcy’s family came to America from the same Cape Verdean island. And they landed in a place where many Cape Verdeans did – New Bedford, Massachusetts. But why did they immigrate? What pushed them toward America? And once then arrived, did they find the American Dream that they were looking for? And does that have anything to do with why Daddy Grace, as a Black man, called himself “colorless”?
