She is a biracial woman adopted by a black family. She is not "white". It is clear in pictures of her as a child and with her sisters as an adult that she is biracial.

Unfortunately, I don't expect much from the media. I wonder what kind of investigation was done before they went with this story. Black people couldn't even use the same water fountain as white people in parts of the country in 1943. And I'm supposed to believe they would be able to adopt a white baby.
