Uncle Cyril and Auntie Emy…

Written by Jeff Chiba Stearns
July 3, 2008

Even though I interviewed my Uncle Cyril and Auntie Emy on June 24th, their interview still plays through my head. My uncle Cyril is from Trinidad and Tobago and came to Canada just before 1970. He married my Auntie Emy in 1971. From their recollection, they were the first interracial marriage in Kelowna (or even the entire Okanagan) where a black man married a Japanese woman. Even now, I don’t actually think that has happened again since then in Kelowna. From the recollection of their marriage day all they could remember is the huge crowd of onlookers and passer byers who stopped to witness this historic event as they left the church in downtown Kelowna. My Uncle Cyril mentioned how complete strangers just stopped and stared at them as they left the church. Years later he actually met a woman who was a teacher in the Kelowna who admitted to being one of the stunned onlookers in that crowd. Considering the Anti-miscegenation laws, also known as miscegenation laws, were finally abolished in the US in 1967, interracial marriage was still a bit progressive back then. The Anti-miscegenation laws were laws that banned interracial marriage and sometimes interracial sex between whites and members of other races in the US.
