Description

On the eve of World War II, mixed-race marriage was illegal in most states. Yet 60 years later, black-white marriage is no longer illegal or a divisive political issue, and the number of such couples has risen dramatically. Romano explains how and why such marriages have gained acceptance, and what this tells us about American race relations today.
