There's much on her life after he died, and I hope they cover that territory. Hopefully it'll either come to LA or Netflix soon.Ernessa T.

I am not surprised one bit that republicans are still anti-interracial relationships. <br /><br />I know plenty of republicans who say they would never date a black person (although in one person's case they said it was only because they didn't feel like dealing with all the drama and work that comes with making interracial relations work which I could understand how she felt on that).<br /><br />As for the film, I don't really care much for it. Sure, I probably wouldn't exist if not for them(even though my parents never married and I don't know my dad at all)but I find their story rather depressing (especially when he died a few years later).lifeexplorerdiscoveryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10784242218298485014noreply@blogger.com
