Interracial marriages were not very common as far back as 60 years ago, and with the recent increase in divorce rate around the world, no one would expect an interracial marriage to last for that long.
But this Nigerian man and his wife have proven to be a great source of inspiration as they have been married for 60 years.
Their grandchild Sarah j(@naselle_) shared this beautiful picture of her interracial grand parents as they mark their 60th wedding anniversary on Twitter and it has gone viral with over 14,000 retweets and still counting.
