Lets talk about love across color lines. Did you know that just 52 years ago it was illegal for black and white couples to get married? It wasn't until 1967, during the "Loving vs Virginia" case when the court ruled it was unconstitutional to restrict inter-racial marriages. This case involved a white man and a black woman who fell in love and decided to get married even if it meant death or imprisonment. They risked their lives to be together and because of their love and conviction for each other, they changed history.
Prior to this case, it was illegal for people to marry across color lines, to love each other freely despite race and historically black men would have been killed or brutally punished if they got caught with a white woman. So I decided to have this conversation to see how people felt about interracial dating in America today.
Guest includes Annika Karlsen who is in an interracial relationship, Daniel Mapp (African American man), Kim Davis (African American woman).
