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.

    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 !!

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!

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
