Why Does Black Marriage Have Its Own Day?

A look at the history of Black Marriage Day.

Black Marriage Day is Sunday, March 27. As we started talking about the day around the YourTango offices, we wondered: why isn't there a Hispanic Marriage Day? A Caucasian Marriage Day?

Surprise! Single Women Don't Shop Like Carrie Bradshaw
