The Black Father in My Life by Z

In 1978, a single white mother living in San Francisco with her biracial daughter, meets and eventually creates a family with Jamal, a black male music student and single father. Despite stereotypes, their relationship blossomed into a loving, enduring marriage, raising their children and later enjoying their grandchildren together. This story challenges common stereotypes and calls attention to the potential of black fathers unjustly incarcerated.
