ms. maria olsen to the dias. >> thank you so much for that. i am so excited to be here. i grew up in montgomery county. i was the only dark skinned person in my entire white kinsington classroom. my parents were forbidden by law to mary in the state of maryland in 1961. when i tell my children that, or even strangers, they are shocked it was illegal in 16 states, including maryland and virginia for people of other races to marry. serious. that is crazy. and likewise, when my children tell there children dad and dad were not able to marry until 2015 they will not believe it. there are so many changes going on in society. the family paradigm is changing and it is remarkable. ome in my childhood people couldn't get married that were two different races and now it is so cumin no one one would blink an eye. although i wouldn't want my children going to school in the south. there are pockets of racism. it is an examination of things changing and what we can do to support people whose families are not like the cleaver family. how many people remember the cleaver family show? i
