Loving Day Event for Geoffrey Greif, author of INTERRACIAL MARRIAGE and Joan Green, author of NAVIGATING TWO WORLDS
Presenting an event on Loving Day Eve aka the evening before the annual national celebration of Loving vs. Virginia, the court case that legalized interracial marriage nationally in 1967.
Authors Geoffrey Greif and Joan Green, both of whom have published new books on interracial marriage, join us on the patio for a conversation.
Greif’s Interracial Marriage: How Diverse Couples Navigate Relationships in a Divided Time uses interviews with and surveys of hundreds of people, and the authors’ many decades of experience as therapists and researchers to explore how intermarried couples build lives together. At once large-scale and intimate, this book offers practical advice and timely insight into the triumphs and struggles of love across lines of difference.
Green’s Navigating Two Worlds: From Blind Spots to Awareness in Interracial Families investigates how being part of an interracial family means discovering where privilege, culture, and love collide an intersection filled with undeniable challenges and extraordinary opportunities for growth. Blending personal reflection with the stories of other women, she explores interracial marriage, parenting and the complex role race plays within families.
This exciting pairing promises a thoughtful and fruitful conversation and we hope you’ll join us!
