Russell City: A family learns about their past

In the second part of our two-part series, “Race in America: the Conversation,” NBC Bay Area’s Jodi Hernandez opens up about her family roots in Russell City, a city in Alameda County neglected and wiped off the map. Jodi sees, for the first time, where her family once lived and interviews her father, Joe Hernandez, who has never talked about Russell City, until now. Joe Hernandez says, “I never told anybody about Russell City because there was some shame .. It’s hard to have this conversation. It’s just like a dark secret for me.”
