Growing up in the 1970s and 1980s as part of a multiracial family, I seemed like our family was an aberration.  I would have loved to know more about the history of mixed-race and multiracial families.

 

Today, there are two wonderful children’s books that help explain the story of the Lovings and the Supreme Court case: 

The Case for Loving: The Fight for Interracial Marriage by Selina Alko and Loving vs. Virginia: A Documentary Novel of the Landmark Civil Rights Case by Patricia Hruby Powell.
