Author Dorothy Roberts is the product of an interracial marriage, rare for Chicago in the 1960s. When she got older, Roberts discovered that her dad was interested in studying interracial marriages long before he met her mother, calling into question whether their entire family might have been the product of an experiment. Roberts discusses her new book, The Mixed Marriage Project: A Memoir of Love, Race, and Family.
