Welcome to Season 6 of You Had Me at Black! This season we recorded all of our stories over Skype, which allowed us reach people in places we wouldn't have been able to otherwise. This week's story comes from Kelly, who grew up in predominantly white Utah. She never knew what her parents did for a living, then one day the cops showed up at her door.
