Remember when Ralph Richard Banks shared an excerpt from his controversial new book “Is Marriage for White People?” with The Wall Street Journal and ignited a heated national debate? We do, because you expressed you’re outrage and concerns with us too, and the topics quickly became one of the most covered dating issues this year.
The topics raised in the book are still being vehemently discussed months later, so the Wall Street Journal invited Banks to join ESSENCE Executive Editor Vanessa Bush and race and gender expert Melissa Harris-Perry to sit on a panel hosted by reporter Lee Hawkins to revisit the issues raised by the article. Watch their discussion here.
