Synopsis by Alice Day

This series follows the lives of Bill Sims and Karen Wilson, a black man and white woman, as they encounter the day-to-day problems facing a biracial couple. In the first episode, Cicily, their college-aged daughter, enters Colgate University, and discovers that it is predominantly white. She must decide whether to choose between black and white in An American Love Story, Part 1: Welcome to America. The couple must deal with the ordinary difficulties of marriage and raising a family, as well as recurring racial issues and prejudice.
