Interracial Marriage Quotes

“I believe in recognizing every human being as a human being--neither white, black, brown, or red; and when you are dealing with humanity as a family there's no question of integration or intermarriage. It's just one human being marrying another human being or one human being living around and with another human being.”
― Malcolm X, The Autobiography of Malcolm X

“Fears of interracial sex and marriage have deep roots in the United States. The confluence of race and sex was a powerful force in dismantling Reconstruction after the Civil War, sustaining Jim Crow laws for a century and fueling divisive racial politics throughout the twentieth century. In the aftermath of slavery, the creation of a system of racial hierarchy and segregation was largely designed to prevent intimate relationships like Walter and Karen’s—relationships that were, in fact, legally prohibited by “anti-miscegenation statutes” (the word miscegenation came into use in the 1860s, when supporters of slavery coined the term to promote the fear of interracial sex and marriage and the race mixing that would result if slavery were abolished). For over a century, law enforcement officials in many Southern communities absolutely saw it as part of their duty to investigate and punish black men who had been intimate with white women.”
― Bryan Stevenson, Just Mercy

― Jhumpa Lahiri, The Lowland

“The robbery was as simple, successful, and as stupid as most robberies are. My name is Sam von Hammerstein. I was born on June 5, 1949, and I grew up on an old family farm in NC that had been handed down through the generations. I had no idea that anything interesting would happen in my life until we robbed a store on July 15, 1968. I was 19. Roger and Jerome were both 18. We lived in rural Rutherford County NC, just across the state line from Spartanburg, SC. We were working class, southern teenagers complaining about not having enough money for a trip to the beach. We were not juvenile delinquents, but each of us had some instability in our family lives. We didn’t have real experience with crime, but we had watched robberies on TV, so we figured it would be easy to do. I have heard it said that you can’t “un-ring” a bell but learned that I needed to try to undo my robbery and spent the next several years dodging bullets that might as well have been shot at me that day.”
― W. Leon Morrow, THE UN-ROBBERY
