George Schuyler and Josephine Cogdell and *******. Schuyler was a left wing journalist in the 20's and Josephine was a model-actress-dancer who came from a rich, former slave-owning family. Interested in left wing ideas, Cogdell began writing back and forth with Schuyler, whom she eventually traveled to New York to meet and later marry. When they married, Cogdell wrote on the marriage certificate that she was colored to avoid any opposition. Schuyler eventually became a strong supporter of the right wing, believing blacks could only progress by working in cooperation with whites.
Everybody knows about how Thomas Jefferson had children with Sally Hemmings, one of his slaves. This is a picture of Sam Neill and Carmen Ejogo from a movie on the subject. We would be remiss not to mention them. 
Saints Perpetua and Felicity are two Christian martyrs killed together in 203 CE. The nature of their relationship is debated today as whether to call them lovers or friends, but the Passion of St. Perpetua, St. Felicity and the Companions is one of the earliest autobiographical Christian documents to survive and completely fails to mention Perpetua's husband while her relationship to her slave Felicity is central to the story of her conversion and death. Many icons depict them being the same skintone, but noblewoman Perpetua was born in Carthage, North Africa part of modern Tunisia while the slave Felicity was European.

Interesting! And I hear Sally Hemmings was the half sister of Jefferson's late wife Martha. The offspring of his ******* in law and a black woman.

Ray Victory and Jean Afrique. Jeanette Dyrkjaer (1963-2011) was a Danish model and adult actress. In 1983 she won the Million Pet of the Year Pageant organized by Penthouse magazine and won a million dollars in the process. She later worked as an adult model and briefly worked in the American porn industry where she met Ray Victory (b. 1960) and was billed as Jean Afrique. They actually fell in love and married. They had two sons born in 1991 and 1993. Sadly she died of a heart attack at the young age of 47.I've seen other pictures of her and she was beautiful.. but I didn't know she was married to Ike Jones whom I've never heard of.. Very interesting
This is wonderful topic we are enjoying very much

Ann Harding (1902-1981) was a beautiful and talented actress of all the mediums: theatre, motion pictures, radio and television. She was known for her waist length blonde hair. Unlike most film stars of that time, Ann dressed down off camera and had little concern for her outward appearance. She often attended premieres without makeup or fancy hair-dos. Emphasizing her natural beauty.
I mention her because is rumored to have had relations with black men. Because that sort of thing was so taboo back then, she probably kept it secret, so as not to destroy her career. She was always appalled by the state of race relations in America. She joined the NAACP in 1934, having been disgusted by what she considered racism in her 1932 movie "Prestige." In 1935, she attended a benefit in support of the group's Anti-Lynching bill. She remained a loyal supporter for the rest of her life.

Albert (1858-1887) and Lucy Parsons (1853-1942 were from Texas where Lucy Eldine Gonzalez Parsons was born into slavery. She met Albert and they married. They moved to Chicago due to threats from the KKK during Reconstruction. Albert was a former Confederate soldier who later fought on behalf of former slaves’ rights. Albert & Lucy were extreme radical anarchists. Lucy became a labor organizer, feminist, socialist, and communist. Lucy was considered dangerous by the authorities as they hated communists and “troublemakers” in general. When she died of a house fire in Chicago, the police rushed in to get all of Lucy Parso’s papers and literature. Most of it mysteriously disappeared.
Mae West also produced and acted in a 1920s broadway play about an interracial couple, where she kissed her co-star passionately several times. Shocking in its day. I believe it did get some positive reviews from more open-minded critics and audiences.
She and Sammy Davis Jr. had an under the radar romance.
Nat and Judy Garland has a long time thing going on as well.
A female friend of Bettie said she preferred black men first. He friend added something like, “Why do you think lived in Jamaica so much?”
