I'm a 56-year-old white lesbian mother and grandmother who has been with my partner for more than 35 years. I had polio as a child, and have a permanent disability as a result. I look after a large district for the Unitarian Universalist Association, a religious organization which has made a commitment to becoming an antiracist institution, which is long overdue.

Black female southern born baby boomer. Left the Alabama in 1969 moved to Chicago. Through living, now living with a New York native of Jewish heritage. He's upper class Ph.D. He loves classical music. I was raised in public housing and lived with segregation. I was the 1st to finish high school. It's not so much race as it's cultural differences. It's definitely a bagel and chittling house.

I am hungry for meaningful dialogue about race. There still seems to be a great deal of polarization and discomfort among the races, and I hope to be able to confront some of that in this arena. I am white, my wife is black. This series came at a time of introspection for us -- tomorrow is our 5 year anniversary, and we are expecting our first child any day.

I am a 32 year old white female living in Canada. I have been married for 8 years to a man from Trinidad and have twin 5 year old daughters. I am extremely interested in discussing other people's experiences or perceptions with "mixed" marriages or sharing my experiences on the subject. I feel there is a big difference in attitude of a inter-racial relationship depending where you live.
