When my parents married in 1966, there were   50   places in this country that had laws  51   mixed marriage.   52  , my white grandfather,   53   father had been a typical racist, was not against their marriage.

Some of us are men, some are women. Some are young, some old. Some of us are short and others   54  . Some right-handed, some left-handed. We have lots of differences; we are all   55  . But deep down inside us, down in our DNA, we are 99.9 percent the same. And I believe we need to remember that.
