I'm sure the topic of interracial marriage would have mixed reactions ranging from horror to happiness;). Even today it can be a touchy topic. I'm hoping (and believing) more and more families have accepting and loving attitudes like yours:)!<br /><br />@William: Your comment got me curious. I had to look up Frederick Douglass' grave. I didn't know he was buried in Rochester!Maria McKenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15138614172014005449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6488911705938331499.post-48743071622125841422021-02-15T18:38:26.363-05:002021-02-15T18:38:26.363-05:00I knew as well.

Thank you for the additional details about it! I only knew the very basic facts about it. <br /><br />I wonder what he and Helen would think of how public attitudes towards interracial marriages has evolved over the years? Sometimes I wish we could give older and deceased generations updates from the present. <br /><br />There are people who are still opposed to interracial relationships, of course, but there are also extended families like mine that fully love and accept the interracial couples in the family. :) Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14241300876630582609noreply@blogger.com
