Name: Our Friendship
Duration: P00H02M12S
Description: Last century, I was married to someone else. It was an interracial marriage with two amazing daughters, both now grown. We went our ways, but are still connected through the girls, and she was my best friend for twenty years. Race was never an issue unless we were discriminated against for being a couple. I really thought of myself as woke, but I now recognize my privilege. We remain friends.

lyrics

My Privilege
Our defiance
My pride
Our cultures
My shame
Our bravery

Our privacy
Their judgment
Our children
The stares
Our courage
Their world

The failures
Our joys
My reflection
Our differences
My stupidity
Our undoing

Our friendship
