Landmark Case

This case is a reminder of how recently we have struggled with overturning the racism that is embedded in our laws. It also reminds us how connecting with people across races is essential to change. It's only with interaction and relationships that we will move forward. As necessary as it is to have a fair and just legal system, laws can't change people. Case and point- miscegenation is legal, yet so many still have issues with interracial relationships. Multiracial individuals were just given the chance to report more than one race on the census in 2000.
