Yes, Soledad O'Brien's mom is a black Cuban, married to a non-American white man. They met in college, during the 1950's I believe. And yes, they could not marry in Maryland (I think) due to the laws against mixed race marriages at the time.

General discussions of the make up of specific ethnic groups are topics for another forum as they do not solely pertain to NYC. Please stay on topic. Thank you.
