In 2021, genealogist Henry Louis Gates from the show Finding Your Roots, featured Rosanne Cash as his guest and confirmed Vivian Liberto's Sicilian ancestry. Her paternal ancestry traced back 300 years in Cefalù, Sicily.[18] In addition, Gates discovered that one of Vivian's maternal great-grandfathers, Lafayette Robinson, was a mixed-race man who was the son of Sarah A. Shields, a mixed woman born into slavery and freed along with her eight siblings by their white father and slave owner William Shields.[19] Gates also found wedding registry records for Sarah and her white husband Andrew Robinson who had married legally and openly during the Civil War in Perry County, Alabama, with Sarah's father paying the county recorder to register the wedding. According to her official biographer Ann Sharpsteen, and Vivian Cash's own words in her 2007 memoir, Vivian strongly identified throughout her life as a White/Sicilian-American and did not identify as Black or multi racial, stating in her memoir, "It didn't help that Johnny issued a statement to the KKK informing them that I wasn't black. To this day I hate when accusations and threats from people like that are dignified with any response at all."[13]

I'm A half breed Navajo/Irish American my father is Native American Navajo and my Mother is Irish I have 10 brother's and sister's some look dark with dark thick hair and some are light skin with light brown hair. My youngest sister came out with blond hair and really light color skin but she celebrated are native culture and was raised in the low income hood or middle class. My nephew kid's are half native American and black they are still babies besides his older son he is light skin with thick curly hair. I never asked him what does he favor more his native American culture or his black folks culture? He's just like any other normal kid's in the neighborhood. Just know all or most of the kid's are halfbreeds none are full blooded. I did half a full blooded African lady for a neighbor from Africa, that became an American. At the same time I had a neighbor that lived across the street that was from China and became Amrican on the other side of me my neighbor was a women from Mexico that became an American. I thought that was cool I live in a multiy cultural neighborhood. My Chinese neighbor's daughter she married an Salvadoran there daughter and son speaks 3 different languages Chinese, Spanish, English they have to speak to both of there grandparent, they don't speak much English they know just enough to get by. And if you judge the Salvadoran/Chinese gal on what she looks like you would probably be wrong. And my niece's and Nephew's seeing them all together dark and light and they are al related by blood.

She was gorgeous. Never knew this information about her. Thank you for educating us

As for their romance, I think the bigger issue was that Cash was awestruck with June Carter because of her status as a great musician & being part of the Carter musical family. The Carters were giants in Country music.

I just watched 'My Darling Vivian' documentary TODAY. What a lovely woman Vivian was. Johnny stepped out and left a gem at home. His "love story" with June was anything but that. June Cash played the camera and spoke with a pre-teen voice. She loved the attention. I never was impressed with her. Vivian? IMPRESSIVE.

Vivian was very beautiful and elegant! She had sculpted cheekbones too.

+I love how the author casually says " one of their daughters "LOL . Roseanna cash is one of the most successful artists ever who tracked down the roots.

I cried when I watched “My Darling Vivian.” She was so beautiful and when it was alleged she was black, I truly thought SO WHAT? and I’m as white as can be. What a sad, sad story.

She definitely was the good wife. Thank you for speaking about this marriage.

Unbelievable that this hideous discrimination only occurred 60 or so years ago.

@@saraswatkin9226 That simply is not true. The Brits Were ABSOLUTELY THRILLED that Harry was marrying this beautiful woman. You should do some research and you will learn the truth. Rachel Meghan Markel's BEHAVIOR is what destroyed the GREAT LOVE the Brits had for her. Most said what I did, that I had no idea, even after seeing her picture, that she was mixed race. Her acting resume stated she was Caucasian. I just thought that she was a very pretty girl. It is really unfair to blame their distaste for MM on race. That had NOTHING to do with it. There are numerous accounts, too numerous to mention, from a myriad of eyewitness who report repeated similar behavior, NO ONE would find acceptable...like Throwing a Steaming Hot Cup of Tea on a female staffer.

I just recently watched the documentary on Vivian. It changed my whole perspective on Johnny and June Cash , by the time I was watching I was fired up!! Johnny cash did not leave Vivian because of her race, he was already running around with June. The photo was took when they went to get Johnny out of jail for drugs but he was already with June. She’s the one that had 3 babies with 3 daddies not counting Johnnys that makes 4. I felt so bad for Vivian after I watched it. She was really done wrong. Even her girls were left out of his will in the end. I’ve just ordered the book she wrote which I’m sure she was still thoughtful of him because she still loved him till the end, the name of her book is : I walked the line , my life with Johnny. She deserved so much better than she had

She was like fine wine she aged so beautifully. Lovely lady.

This was very respectfully done. It’s mentioned a couple of times that she was religious to be exact she was a devoted Catholic in a Protestant USA 🇺🇸. She was married by her Uncle who was a Catholic Priest. I mention this because Catholics did experience discrimination in this country, Not like the black Americans, but she was Not spared. BTW, Rosanne Cash, also had black ancestry on her Father’s side. It often turns out that many White and Black Americans that have been here for centuries that believe they have Native American linkage, turns out to be black for the whites and white for the blacks. Johnny Cash, often stated he had Native American ancestry, turns out it was black. When the 1% of black ancestry was fully enforced in 1924 in the Southern States, it met the approval of Americans with mixed Ancestry that were EXCLUDED. Primarily because the man was white, the woman was mixed, the black was heavily diluted and the offsprings/children were white passing. Plenty of news papers and articles from 1895 to 1924 support this claim. Many mixed Europeans also got a pass. The Miscegenation Laws, forbidding interracial marriages between blacks and whites, ended by the Supreme Court in 1967 with the Loving vs Virginia case. The 1 drop rule, was only in effect for 43 years and yet black Americans still identify and apply it to everyone, including White Americans with any hidden black ancestry, like it’s being done in this case. I’ve met many self-identifying well off black Americans that appear white in skin color, features, hair texture. Even in their DNA they are 70%-80% European, especially from Virginia and the Carolinas. Basically, do Not assume that White presenting Americans, do not identify as black, as they are the ones that bear the responsibility to lift their darker skin people into acceptable standards, including beauty standards - so telling them they don’t look black, etc is not going to win you any points. They are not seeking inclusion, but respect and equally . Having a black friend is no longer going to cut it, you need to have a Black family member 😊

Good video. Fan of the channel because of this. Great job, sis.

That was very interesting and I can't believe I had never heard this before. Vivian was indeed very beautiful. Just as a human, I feel the attitude that against their marriage shameful. My life theory is good people are rare, like diamonds. They are not the rule but the exceptions, in any and every race. I've been fortunate to have met diamonds in several races and I'm unwilling to write off a whole race, even my own, because most of them are not good people. I don't want to miss any chance at meeting more diamonds wherever I can. God has scattered them through all races. I'm not sure if I explained that well or not. 😁
