Couples who are in interracial marriages, and evil statements addressed to them
Categories: Photo project

This is what Donna Pinkley's "Sticks and Stones" photo project is about.
Pinkley photographed a variety of interracial couples of all ages in her native Arkansas and other southern states — Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana, and then supplemented the pictures with angry comments that the characters received in their address.
Sticks and Stones is not a project about how we complicate each other's lives. This is a series about true love.

I swear to you, a black woman lives in this house with a white man!
Why are you with her?
Why not date someone of your own race?
Your parents must be proud of you!
What are you doing with this cheap thing?
All she needs from you is a green card.
No man will ever want you again!
He took our next good black man for himself.
We're Southerners, so don't even think about introducing him to his family.
