Biracial Children (1319)

Interracial and multi-cultural marriages and births are on an upswing in this country, and the biracial population is estimated at about five million. The future of race in America has become the focus of a current political and social movement by mixed race children and their families, and they're demanding recognition. We visit two of New Jersey's most diverse communities to talk with children about the issues and concerns they face each day as part of this growing population. One boy authored a book at age10 about being biracial. We'll hear from him and his family.
