Marriage Beyond Black and White

David Douglas, an educator and frequent speaker on improving race relations in America, provides an adult child's perspective on the experience and brings the family chronicle up to the present. His contribution fulfills a promise made to his mother just before her death in 1995. Barbara Douglas--an educator, a writer, a mother of four, and a front-line advocate for multiracial and multiethnic families--covers the early years of her marriage to Carlyle, describing how the young family coped with the day-to-day realities of life in Chicago and Detroit.
