Associated Press: NYC Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio and Wife Chirlane McCray Break a Barrier as a White-Black Interracial Couple

"Another milestone is passing in America's racial journey: The next mayor of New York City is a white man with a black wife.

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."
