interracial

Johnny Cole is Director of Equity & Student Supports at Lexington Public Schools and a proud member of an interracial family, built with love with his husband and their two adopted children.

After the war, he settled down with Rachel, in an interracial marriage that at the time was illegal in Mississippi.

I know we have shared experiences in being in interracial marriages and you know raising small children who are of mixed race and how that plays into that.

Interracial marriage was once widely prohibited as “unnatural.”
