"Celebrating Black Marriages II"

© All photos are copyrighted by their respected photographers. No copyright infringement intended as the sole use of the photos is for this tribute.

A follow-up to my first video. The 12 couples featured in this video are famous Black couples, both past and present, who overcame adversity and stayed committed to each other. And of course, this list is accurate as of August 13, 2009!

The pictures are not in any particular order; however, I did group them by profession. I tried to be as diverse as possible and by NO means am I promoting a political agenda:

1. Billy and Marilyn (McCoo) Davis
2. Charlie and Rozene Pride
3. Aaron and Joel Neville*
4. John Drew and Karen (Clark) Sheard
5. James Todd (LL Cool J) and Simone Smith
6. Norman and Debbie (Allen) Nixon
7. Walter (we miss you, Sweetness) and Connie Payton
8. Bill and Jayne (Kennedy) Overton
9. Calvin and Janet Hill
10. Demond and Cicely Wilson
11. Tim and Daphne (Maxwell) Reid
12. Carl and Melika Payne

* I realize Aaron Neville is remarrying, but this is a tribute to his first marriage of 47 years.
