On the eve of World War II, mixed-race marriage was illegal in most states. Yet, sixty years later, black-white marriage is no longer illegal or a divisive political issue, and the number of such couples and their mixed-race children has risen dramatically. Renee Romano explains how and why such marriages have gained acceptance, and what this tells us about race relations in contemporary America. The history of interracial marriage helps us understand the extent to which America has overcome its racist past, and how much further we must go to achieve meaningful racial equality. 606 $aInterracial marriage$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aInterracial marriage 676 $a306.84/6 700 $aRomano$b Renee Christine$01606578 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809188103321 996 $aRace mixing$93932453 997 $aUNINA
