Billy and Dora Cooper met in 1966 when their relationship was considered controversial—so much so that Billy lost his job just for being seen with Dora. In the midst of facing discrimination, family disapproval, and social rejection, they refused to let the world tear them apart. Nearly 60 years later, they’re still holding hands, proving the world wrong. In this emotional episode of At Home with Emily, they open up about the battles they fought, the sacrifices they made, and how they built a marriage that stood the test of time.
