Alvera Rita Frederic Kalina, (October 21, 1921 – 2014) was a multiracial woman who passed as white, married a racist white man and kept the secret of her heritage from her children.
Her parents were Camille Kilbourne and Azemar Alfred Frederic (born 1897).
She was listed in the Louisiana census as 'Col', or colored.
Her daughter, author Gail Lukasik, kept the secret for seventeen years before publishing her story in a book, "White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing."
