Sandy Spring Friends School will present “Evening Panel Discussion on Interracial Marriage
since Loving vs. Virginia,” a conversation with community members as they share their experiences of interracial marriage in the metropolitan D.C. area, at 7:15 p.m. at Yarnall Library, 16923 Norwood Road, Sandy Spring. Korva Coleman of NPR will moderate the panel, which will include Sandy Spring resident Chandlee Offerman. Anti-miscegenation laws made it illegal for Chandlee and her husband Andy to marry in 1960s Maryland. Together, the panel’s experience of “mixed” marriage spans the 50 years since the United States Supreme Court struck down those laws across the country.
