Yes, you read that title right! Was Jay Gatsby a Black Man? We’ve all read “The Great Gatsby” and the book never says anything about Jay being a Black Man, but when we investigated further, it almost seems impossible for him to not be Black. This week we are going down the rabbit hole with author Janet Savage who shows us all the clues, hints, and signs in the book that lead us to believe Gatsby was a Black Man. Why would F. Scott Fitzgerald hide such an important detail of his book, and was Keke’s grandfather actually Jay Gatsby?
