    I became familiar with this woman while reading a bio of JP. For race, she claimed she was Portguese.

    After Bella's parents split, her father took for his common law wife a Japanese woman named Mishi Kawashima with whom he had 3 children, this after his diplomatic posting ended in Vladivostok Russia..Her father, Theodore Greener was an extremely accomplished and pioneering African American, the first colored man to graduate from Harvard University..Greener separated from his wife Genevieve Fleet,(Bella's mom) upon learning that she listed their family as white on the census, as this would harm all the work he was doing in his fight for civil rights and liberties..
