Check out a conversation about Dorothy Roberts’ new memoir, “The Mixed Marriage Project,” examining her interracial upbringing in 1960s Chicago.
Roberts’ book has been described as “a spirited and riveting memoir of growing up in an interracial family, and a daughter’s journey to understand her parents’ marriage, and her own identity.” Engage in a discussion with Roberts and moderator Dr. Marcia Chatelain, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian. Roberts, a sociologist and social-justice advocate, is a George A. Weiss University Professor of Law & Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania, with joint appointments in the Departments of Africana Studies and Sociology, as well as in the Law School. She is a founding director of the Penn Program on Race, Science & Society.
