Photo 3: Biracial Family

Photo 3: Biracial Family: This photo was taken of a biracial family and their two children after school one day.

Sociological Perspective: How does the intersection of race and family affect family structure? Historically, how has the law prevented races from forming families? In what ways do couples handle issues of race in their own families with their biracial children? I think of the fact that we have a biracial president who is in fact half black and half white yet he is only seen as being black. The fact that he is half white is often dismissed.
