White Mayor, Black Wife

Associated Press: “Even in a nation with a biracial president, where interracial marriage is more accepted and common than ever, Bill de Blasio’s marriage to Chirlane McCray is remarkable: He is apparently the first white politician in U.S. history elected to a major office with a black spouse by his side.”

“This simple fact is striking a deep chord in many people as de Blasio
prepares to take office on Jan. 1, with McCray playing a major role in
his administration.”
