Interracial Relationship Resource page

Although Greg and Rebecca are fictional characters, their situation is not. For that reason I have created this page as a link to other sites that contain information, facts and figures, as well as support on the issue of interracial relationships. These sites have proven beneficial to me in research for "The Color of Love" as well as follow up essays and research papers.

US Census Statistics http://www.census.gov/population/www/socdemo/interrace.html

This site breaks down the numbers and gives the nuts and bolts details of things like the number of interracial couples as well as the number of children born to these households.

Race Relations http://racerelations.about.com/cs/interracialissues/

These sites give articles, information and support on topics such as hate crimes, discrimination, diversity and civil rights.

Online Library http://www.questia.com/Index.jsp?CRID=interracial_relationships&OFFID=se1

This site gives access to more than 70,000 books and journals with topics including family acceptance and identity. This is also a great site for those looking for research ideas and topics relating to interracial relationships.

One-Stop-Shop http://www.pollywannacracka.com/

This site is the one with it all; information, support, and dating services.

Interracial Resource Page http://www.starfishcoffee.com/interracialindividuals/

This page is provided for those who consider themselves interracial, multiracial, biracial, etc-racial. For those who refuse to choose between their heritages, those who do choose, but still admit they are interracial, for the parents of interracial children and all other interested parties.

Interracial Voice http://www.webcom.com/~intvoice/

This site contains editorials, research, news reports and more detailed Census information.

After 30 years of marriage, Greg and Rebecca Weaver take a painful look back at life as an interracial couple during the plight and passion of the Civil Rights Movement.

The courtship starts during a time when it would have been more popular to murder someone than cross the "color line." Greg searches deep within himself to relate to his feelings about race relations and being married to a black woman. Rebecca, on the other shoe, tells her side of the story with all the conviction and strength of a woman with great virtue and courage.

In The Color of Love we learn of life's trials and tribulations-faith and perseverance- and that true love and change starts on the inside and works it's way out.
