Living Interracial: Lloyd and Nancy Johnson
Lloyd "Teddy" and Nancy Johnson have been married for nearly 35 years, and run well-known blues bar "Teddy's Juke Joint." The couple said they have experienced a great deal of harassment over the years, especially in the beginning of their relationship. Despite those hardships, the two remain committed to each other and their business.

That’s really cool. I’m a mixed race person that comes from a mixed race family I admire Interracial couples. I have a lot of respect for them. Is shows that race is nothing but a color. We are all human God made us all to walk and bleed the same way. Its all about what’s inside the heart, NOT ethnicity or skin color.
Beautiful couple and in times when racism were worst than today!!! God bless you!!!
So proud of my Uncle and Aunt. Love you guys
What a strong couple. I want to hug you both. -Rox
I guess its true. the longer a couple stick together, the more they look alike
Really cool but ALSO very frightening how southern whites treated this couple. To think that the police did this to their establishment.

I met this sweet German girl while in the army I loved her and wanted to marry her about 30 years ago. But deep down I didn't want to bring her to America and break her gentle loving spirit. I think about her often.

My parents married in the early 1970's in England and did not have to sneak about. Both families came to the wedding and never had ANY fights over it and we are all close. America is/was very backward about race.

I heard about Teddy and his juke joint before I met him. The picture they painted of Teddy and the hospitality they were shown caused me to right a song about his juke joint. I was so glad when I had a chance to visit that it was just as they had described. He and Nancy are exactly like you see here...warm and friendly...if you ever met them you'd feel the same way. I will post the song "Teedy's Juke Joint" shortly. Just proves that love has no color barriers !!

Blessed Beyond Yes, & there were many stories like that. Ignorance is a terrible thing, it’s what creates racism. My Aunt married a wonderful Black man back in 1977, here in San Francisco. But, they didn’t have many problems, because San Francisco was pretty integrated, even back then.
Great Video! A+. Seeing Interracial Couples makes me happy! I'm an advocate for it. It's the inside of a person that counts. Don't let someone stop you from dating what makes you happy.

Kingdom Banner and these old ppl need to give them something to respect. Most are acting young as if they don’t accept their wisdom.
For them two from down south is the luckiest couple alive to experiences a toughest situation from their relationship that can effects other people.
Beautiful couple. Love is powerful. You stuck it out and for each other. "We had a hard life but it's still a good life. I love her and I know she loves me" brought me to tears! I wish you both all the very best now and always.
So inspiring and a beautiful story! May God continue to bless you guys .
This is the loveliest story I have seen so far. There is so much wisdom coming out of their mouths and so on. I can’t help but envy them.
Hey keep going!! My wife are interracial pioneers! We have 2 lovely daughters 37 and 34! We've been together for 40 years. I remember bringing my wife to the States from the UK and visiting my parents in Charleston SC! The looks the comments out in the open. We were mortified! Then my wife turned it one day and said to woman who was staring hard, Lisa said, "it's real it's really real", our perspective changed then. We would never allow the ignorance of others to determine our happiness. We're here for you and would love to talk and share experiences!

Fanta Graham You have no understanding of real racism.....it is nothing but ignorance. The past has nothing to do with two ppl who fall in love. Ppl fall in love with a person, not a color. The past is the past. You can only be responsible for your own actions, not someone else’s . If your father killed someone, that has nothing to do with you. We are all humans, with different cultures. The racism, hatred, & ignorance needs to stop
I commend you two, 4 hanging in there, in spite of the racial ups and downs. God bless u, 4 many more years of togetherness. I hope :& pray someday, to find that special someone, and stay together as long or longer, no matter the color, because love knows no color.
Their story put a HUGE smile on my face for a solid 5 min. God bless ya'll!!
I love these two people. Such wonderful words.
It's amazing to hear your story. I am proud of you both and may God continue to bless the both of you in your marriage.

It breaks my heart and simultaneously makes my heart smile that they have been through so much and you can still see the love they have for each other. Love is love. I’m happy that they each found their person.
Wow! That TG&Y picture really brought back some memories. I used to go there all the time with my parents and grandparents when I was a kid. The one by the airport off of plank road and the one in Baker too.
Wow! So proud of you both for sticking it out

Love this! When my grandma first met my white husband she was also very scared because of her time growing up in segregation
We are dealing with major racial issues now. My white friends always say when I talk to them about my fear for my black grandsons "as long as they obey the law they won't have a problem". That's not true. And it offend me when they say that because they're saying all blacks that get locked up or hassel by the police deserved it and that's Not True.
Beautiful story💕
I really enjoyed their truth about all of it😊
Makes me sad people have to hide the people they love. Love is love ❤
... can see the spirit of the LOVINGS in this couple...
That was a great story wonderful couple
OMG! Adorable!

It’s hard to bear but sometimes you just have to ignore it
