Message: From GoLocalProv by Riya and Sara Kapoor, Guest Contributors: In 1947, a white Jewish boy from the south of Boston fell in love with a black girl. Despite vehement opposition from their parents, the couple was married in 1959. At the time, George and Joyce Wein were among just a handful interracial couples in the country. Their union was daring, and easily threatened by the city of naysayers around them. But still, George and Joyce found a harmony in one another that was unrivaled, and they were inseparable for over 65 years. The story of their star-crossed romance may seem ordinary in today, since nearly 20% of modern U.S marriages are interracial. But in an age where fairy tale endings seldom existed for people like them, George and Joyce’s feat was extraordinary. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/how-life-will-imitate-george-wein
