The Loving
Generation
Lacey Schwartz-Delgado,
Documentary, in English, 41 Minutes, USA, 2018
“The Loving Generation” is a
first-of-its-kind look into the generation of children born to one
black parent and one white parent just before — and after — the
United States Supreme Court’s 1967 "Loving vs. Virginia" decision,
which overturned all remaining anti-miscegenation laws in the United
States. More specifically, the interviewees are biracial individuals
born between 1965 and 1985.
The story of “The Loving
Generation” is the story of how these biracial children — many of
whom solely identify as Black — experience race within a divided
America, and how their visibility (or invisibility), accomplishments
and experiences provide a fascinating and unique window into the
borderland between “blackness” and “whiteness”, and, in some cases,
explode our ideas about race and identity. |
