Professor Of African History Admits Masquerading As Black Woman For Years

A professor at George Washington University who insisted she was black for years has now admitted in a Medium post that she has been lying about her race.

Jessica Krug, whom the GWU website describes as a “historian of politics, ideas, and cultural practices in Africa and the African Diaspora, with a particular interest in West Central Africa and maroon societies in the early modern period and Black transnational cultural studies,” is the author of “Fugitive Modernities: Politics and Identity Outside the State in Kisama, Angola, and the Americas, c. 1594-Present” and “Fathers of No Nation.”
